I received a letter from honda notifying me of a recall on my passenger air bag in july. It is now november and the parts are still not available. This is unacceptable for me to be driving an unsafe car for this long. I have a road trip planned in a couple of weeks and need my car to be safe for it.

Takata recall - i searched my vin number to determine any potential recalls on my vehicle to find that mine is included on the airbag recall. I called my local dealership, and they informed me that they would order the part and it would take roughly a week to ship in; it would take about 45 minutes to fix once the part was in. I was utterly shocked that she wasn't surprised or even wanting to verify any information…

Takata recall. Honda recall # ka5. Received notice of recall july 2016. Have not received any indication that remedy for recall is available. According to the website safercar.gov, the recall was made known in may 2016. I would like to know how to resolve this safety issue. This seems to be too much time to wait to have such a serious problem resolved.

Takata recall. I found out about the recall in july and called the local dealer and honda, and was told the part was not yet available and i would be notified when it was. On 9/20, i checked with the dealer and was told that the part is available but they have to order the vin-specific part, which takes up to 4 weeks. I then called honda to see why i wasn't noticed that the part was available, and the rep said honda…

Takata recall - heard the airbag might be on recall about a month ago. Daughter drives this car to college. Looked up civic online and it met the recall for takata airbag. Took to dealership but they said they have no part for replacement until fall. This is unacceptable. Our 4 seat car is now a 'limo' as no one can sit in the front passenger seat. Also my daughter must return to college without the repair completed…

I received a recall notice from honda dated july 2016 about propellant wafers degrading and says that "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed". As of today, january 19th, 2017 they do not have the remedy ready yet according to your website. So my family has had to avoid using our civic as i don't want to have my head caved in by a…

It sure if it is a takayuki inflators recall - but the notice from honda indicated that the repair would be available later summer or fall. It is now late december and i have lost the use of my front passenger seat with no update as to when this will be rectified. I have owned 6 hondas and this may be the last. It is pathetic that we cannot even get an update. I want a car where all the seats are usable!!!
