"takata recall" I received a card in snail mail that there was a class action settlement on the takata airbags. This card advised me to go to the website to find out if my Honda Civic was part of this settlement. And whether I should go to the Honda dealer to check if I needed my airbags repaired. When I went to this website it didn't tell me anything. It didn't tell me if my car was involved in the settlement or if I needed to have my airbags repaired. This website didn't even ask for my VIN number. I would appreciate someone informing me if I need to take my 2013 Honda Civic to my dealer and have this repaired?

I have a 2013 Honda Civic. I bought is a certified pre-owned from broadway Honda, greenville, SC. It went well for a year thought the one year warranty with zero problems. But once the warranty was over problems started to show up every other month. During the harsh winter of March one day the battery went dead at a walmart parking. I called my friend and jump started it and it was fine. Next day I went to the Honda service and did a diagnostic. They said the battery is only 30%. in 4 years with 53K miles the battery went bad and I replaced it. And did a oil change and nys inspection. 15 days went well. Suddenly one day my air bag indicator started to blink with a message "check air bag system" on the screen. I took it to a friend's garage and he suspected it was a passenger side seat sensor that has an error. Very troubled I went to Honda service again. They charged $130 just for scanning and diagnostics. They came back said the passenger seat airbag sensor went bad. I asked them how can something like a sensor go bad. Believe me I only use my car to go to office and errands. My wife sits at the back with my baby(infant). Very rarely the seat is used. I asked them how much would it cost and they said it will cost another $880 dollars to replace the sensor. I also want Honda to know the problem as one can't pay so much to replace one sensor.
The contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated that a warning indicator randomly kept flashing to check the air bag system. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least three times, but they were unable to provide a solution. The contact felt as if they misdiagnosed providing a solution and required that brake repairs be completed before servicing the air bag system. The first repair from the dealer indicated that the ABS indicator was illuminated, but the contact stated that it was the air bag warning indicator. The dealer cleaned the rear brakes and adjusted the rear brakes during the first repair. During the second repair, the dealer replaced and resurfaced the front brake pads. The brake fluid exchange was serviced as well. Two days after the repairs, the service air bags indicator illuminated again. The dealer was notified of the failure a third time and indicated that they would follow up, but the contact received no response. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
Check airbag system warning light coming on and off intermittently, whether the vehicle is moving or not. Dealership tech unable to positively identify exact problem or component unless alarm stays on all the time. They could only provide best educated guess. They suspect cable reel is bad. Apparently, when the light is on, air bags apparently will not work. Unacceptable. Have previously owned 3 other Civic 's, never had a single problem with the air bag system. Honda should have a better way to troubleshoot the system to definitively identify the specific defective component in the system. Warning light came on constantly yesterday after approx. A month, but residence is 400 miles from place of employment so it will be a couple days to get vehicle in to dealership to effect repairs. If the government is requiring these systems for safety, then as far as I am concerned they should never fail. Period. Any defect or problem with the system should be immediately corrected by the manufacturer at zero expense to the vehicle owner. I definitely do not feel as safe in the vehicle at the moment, and hope I don't get involved in an accident with this system not working. Just wanted to inform in case others may have experienced this same issue.

I purchased the vehicle in September 2015. About a month after I purchased the vehicle the service air bag warning light came on. The light would generally go off after I turned it off and turned back on. I brought the problem to Honda's attention and they said that it was throwing the code due to low voltage"??" fast forward to 12 months later and the light goes on and off about 10+ times per day. Seems to me that if the airbag system is malfunctioning that there should certainly be a recall.
Takata recall!!?! airbag indicator issues starting at 45 mi. Check airbag warning is now on always. It's taken over my lcd display screen completely making it useless I.e. maintenance info, mileage, handsfree equip. Options. Everything (aside from back up camera, still functioning while in reverse) airbag warning light indicator has disable all components on steering wheel I.e. horn, cruise control, volume ect.. still no recall? I'm scared for my families safety! do something Honda. Someone needs to make Honda address these issues asap!
Check air bag system light came on randomly. Stayed on for majority of time. Dealership ran diagnostics and found code B0001-13 replace cable reel. Notes in repair showed "increased tension in reel" reel was replaced car was returned without working horn or controls on steering wheel working. Latter may be technician fault.
