“Takata recall - received a recall notice for the driver side airbag in march 2016 (16v-061) and then a passenger side airbag in july 2016 (16v-344). In july, I requested the dealer put me on a list to address the recall. Three months later, and my dealership still does not have the parts to fix the airbag inflator issue. Furthermore, the dealer stated that Honda was no longer providing an alternative form of transportation while waiting for the parts.”
NHTSA complaint #10918122, filed 2016-10, 110,000 miles“Takata recall--no incident has occurred yet. I am still waiting, since may 2016 for relief, unable to use the passenger front seat of my vehicle. I am tired of waiting, and of being unable to use my vehicle as I need to. Please help me get this fixed, or a vehicle I can use while I wait. This is affecting my business drastically, as well as my family, as I need to carry passengers during the majority of my driving. This issue involves the NHTSA recall 16v-344.”
