2014 Freightliner MT55Airbags

Our 2014 freightliner sprinter van has airbag recalls that can not be fixed because there are no freightliner dealers in new york state. In other states the recall can be taken care of at a mercedes benz dealer but not in new york state! I am located in rochester n.Y. And have been told we have to take it to pittsburg p.A. To have the recall taken care of. Pittsburg is to far away! I have tried many times to find someone in new york state who can replace the airbags with no success. Please help
