“Tanaka recall, I haven't received any notice from Honda about the airbags! A recent accident deployed the airbags and the car is a loss of total! Do I get any restitution before the accident happened? The car made a left turn when the other motorist hit the side of the front bumper as my car was going into motion on a main street”
NHTSA complaint #11256561, filed 2019-09, 20,100 miles“My airbags did not deploy when I was rear ended with my seatbelt on when I was stopped at a stoplight on a busy suburban street. My airbag light goes off and on at times. I was told fixing the airbag problem was not covered. Why is that when takata b bags were reportedly recalled for the 2015 Honda Civic.”
