This problem could lead to possibly causing injury to vehicle occupant. American honda has or the dealer has failed or is unable to…

    I have been trying for months to determine if our civic if part of this recall of takata airbags. The safe.gov site says our year and make are part if the recall, but the site also says recall is incomplete. We have heard nothing from honda. I am concerned if this is part of the recall. How can we find out with certainty?

    Takata recall. Notified in may 2016 with an early summer late fall resolution with no further update. Wife and i use car to carpool to work, so "avoid the passenger seat" renders the car mostly useless unless one of plays chauffeur and the other sits in the back. Sitting in the back of a honda civic as an adult is a very overrated experience, moreso when it's done every day.
