My honda has the bad air bag inflators that can break apart and injure occupants and cut the air bag. The recall to replace these inflators is listed on the honda web site as only applying to vehicles in hot/humid climates. That was supposed to change. I have not received a recall notice because i live in wyoming. I want to know why honda hasn't recalled all affected vehicles, regardless of location. *tr

This car has a recalled takata airbag. I first contacted the dealership in october and have been waiting for the passenger side replacement airbag for 4 months and honda has not released any parts. Is there any way you can help us? This is a first car for my teenage son and we are obviously very concerned that although this accident might be rare, the outcome would be devastating. *tr

Can you please let me…
