Recall for 2010 GLK airbags
I just got notification on two recalls, one is the drivers airbag and passenger airbag.
SUMMARY
Certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles are equipped with passenger-side front airbags provided by the supplier TK Holdings Inc. ("Takata"). On May 16, 2016 Takata filed a Defect Information Report with NHTSA announcing a potential defect in some of the subject inflators. Based upon Takata's information to date, "Takata is not aware of any test ruptures in ballistic testing or confirmed field incidents of the subject non-desiccated ammonium nitrate inflators other than those already under recall as detailed in prior defect information reports. Out of an abundance of caution, however, Takata is filing this report in cooperation with NHTSA to promote public safety." Daimler AG (DAG) is not aware of any field incidents with the subject Takata PSPI-2 inflators. However, based on the information above and out of an abundance of caution, DAG will conduct a voluntary recall of the vehicles equipped with the subject Takata PSPI-2 inflators in zones A. B, and C (no affected vehicles in Zone C) in the United States as identified by Takata in the Defect Information Report.
CONSEQUENCE
According to Takata, in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.
Anyone had this done yet?

just calls the dealership and they said the letter when replacement are available will be sent by MBUSA but they have no ETA and is not a "big concern" right now. They won't and can't schedule or order any replacements.
