"takata recall" important safety recall sent from Honda, but no resolution. "propellant wafers in some of the subject inflators may degrade over time, which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated. Overly aggressive combustion creates excessive internal pressure when the inflator is activated, which may cause the inflator body to rupture. In the event of inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material possibly causing injury to the vehicle occupant." Honda has sent this "important safety recall information, " but has not had any resolution for the problem. Must drive car daily and driving in fear for possible mishap or injury.

Takata recall the recall of the passenger airbag was supposed to be availablr by late summer/fall of 2016. It's almost the end of the year and the Honda recall page still says recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.
Takata inflators -- airbag recall letter received July 2016 which said parts would be available in late summer/fall. Letter said "Honda will send you another letter when parts become available to repair your vehicle". it's mid December now and have not received a "parts available" letter from Honda. Very inconvenient to "avoid having passenger in front passenger seat". just called local dealership and they say they have had parts for quite some time. They don't know why Honda never sent the second letter. In the meantime, we have been at risk and inconvenienced. This is a big mistake on their part and there should be follow up.

Takata recall: We received our recall notice earlier this year for a defective airbag system. We were told replacement parts would be available by summer/early fall. It is December 14 and we are still waiting. In the meantime we have to drive our car, cannot use the passenger side, which is a major inconvenience, and are worried and fear for our safety with this vehicle while we wait. This is ridiculous and we are extremely fed up with the situation. Not only this, but we are classified as a high risk due to the part of the country we live in (Georgia) and are supposed to receive priority treatment due to our heat and high humidity, which are apparently a factor with the defective airbag(s). Every time we call our local dealership, they state they do not have parts available yet. Please help!

Takata recall. I'm not sure what constitutes a timely recall or repair, but it's been 6 months since anybody has been able to sit in the front seat and I'm sick of looking like an uber driver. I'm also not convinced that the driver's side airbag is safe, and I'd rather not receive a molten hunk of metal through my neck for the sin of having a fender bender. All in all I am a very unhappy Honda owner.,

Takata recall - initial letter detailing the problem was received May 23 2016 stating that a remedy would be available late summer/fall 2016. As of 10/31/16 the NHTSA website still shows remedy unavailable. This is unacceptable - I can no longer afford to not use the full function of my vehicle, specifically using the front passenger seat. 5 months is too long when we are talking about a potentially serious safety issue, especially since I live in a hot and relatively humid climate.
