I had a letter from Mercedes in September about a recall for the passenger airbag, booked it in but heard nothing, chased today and they still don't know when the parts will arrive. A search doesn't bring up much, so wondering if everyone else is in the same boat or they're just palming me off? I'm not bothered from a safety perspective as the chances of it actually going wrong must be minuscule, but having never had to do a recall I would have though they'd prioritise it? I was also looking to trade the car in a few months from now, so if it has outstanding work would that affect the value at all?

I received a letter last year about it. I'll try and sort it when my car goes in for a service in the spring. I wasn't aware there was a wait for parts though, so might not be straight forward. The cars currently SORN, so im not in a rush.

April my car will be in for the recall, I delayed it from Sept when parts were easily available.

Had both mine done in June and September. Although the ML done in September was delayed 2 or 3 months waiting for the bags to come in.

Just had a call from them, the part arrived this morning. Now what are the chances of that......?
