Takata recall - Mazda recall number 9116a, NHTSA recall number 16v-048 I was informed by letter about this recall well over a year ago, but the status still remains "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available".

I am very concerned because it was a Mazda b2300 series pickup a year newer than mine which blew up and killed a person, initiating this recall of both Mazda and Ford ranger branded Mazda pickups. The failure rate of these inflators increases rapidly with vehicle age.
