Description of the problem | Takata recall i have received numerous recall notices for this vehicle, but i haven't owned or leased this vehicle for 5 years. I called ford motor company to request that they redirect the recall notice to the current owner but they said they were unable to do so. Part of the excuse i was given was that ford doesn't send out the notices, they subcontract this to another entity. I don't know who the current owner is. I was the original lessee of the vehicle when i was an employee of ford motor company and this was part of the management lease vehicle program. All registration of the vehicle was handled by them, for this and all the other vehicles that i leased from them as part of this program. This vehicle was returned to ford at the end of the lease and they then dispositioned it, either through resale or other result. My complaint is that ford knowingly is not informing the correct owner/lessee of this vehicle of the current takata recalls. I regret that i have to file a complaint against ford motor company, as a former employee who respects the company and its products, but my intent is to ensure that the current owner of the vehicle is notified as soon as possible given the severity of the issue. Note: the card that i received with notice of this recall says "don't press your luck!" |
