Takata
Takata is a Japanese company that makes auto parts for business to business sales. It produces many of the parts that are probably in your car but it mostly specializes in seatbelts and airbags. In the past, it has been involved with many recalls including the great seat belt recall of 1995 affecting more than 8 million vehicles.
Recall
This time, the recall pertains to airbags. Some Takata airbags have been failing to deploy on drivers in accidents, bringing us back to the 1980s. Actually though, it's worse than that. Instead of just failing, they are also exploding in some circumstances, creating a grenade-like reaction of pressure release and flying pieces of metal.
Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale is the ideal place to bring your
SLK-Class because we are one of the only dealerships in the area with
certification to service Mercedes-AMG vehicles and we are also a recipient of the Mercedes-Benz Best of the Best award for 2015. This means we outshine a large percentage of other Mercedes-Benz dealerships in terms of sales, service, and customer satisfaction.
Even if you don't have the AMG model, there is still no other service center more qualified to service your SLK-Class than us. We are open Monday through Saturday and we treat every car as if it were our own. If you have any questions about the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Takata airbag recall, leave a comment below!
