“Takata recall- I was involved in an accident, where I rear ended another vehicle and my vehicle was deemed totaled, but my airbags failed to deploy , therefore it is obvious that they are faulty and this was not a good experience, please can you help me because my vehicle is not in your list of recalls and why not if this occurred to me???”

The 2nd notice stated to avoid placing persons in the passenger seat. Contacted our local dealer late july - at our request they supplied a rental car pending receipt of repair parts. I have now been contacted that repair parts for the driver side only have been received, and that Honda will not cover the replacement car once driver side is repaired, with no firm eta on parts for the passenger side. …”
