1999 Honda Civic Other or unknown Problems

“I am looking for a remedy to this recall. Apparently the remedy is unavailable and has been for months. Nothing has happened as far as the airbags are concerned. I am noting the 5/22/20 date as the date I have called to try and find a working remedy and to file a complaint.”
