Takata recall: just purchased 2 months ago a 2012 ford fusion. I received a recall notice in the mail for the airbags being recalled. No problems leading up to my airbag light going on and staying on until the day driving it came on and wont go off, even after ford put the new airbag in. I would like this fixed.
