2008 Honda Accord Air Bags

I BOUGHT A USED HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN WITH 55000 MILES AFTERWARDS I SEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND I HAD 3 2 FOR AIR BAGS 1 FOR NOSE MASK BUT NOSE MASK DIDN'T COME ON CAR. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT APRIL 24 2017 I CAME IN AT 815AM THEY SAID THEY COMPLETED THE 2 AIR BAG RECALLS AT 1PM MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED UP MY VIN TO SEARCH TO SEE IF MY RECALLS WERE GONE AND EVERY WEBSITE I TYPED MY VIN IN STILL SAYS MY RECALLS ARE DUE? I RECHECK TODAY APRIL 26TH AND IT STILL SAYS I HAVE OPEN RECALLS WHY HASN'T IT UPDATED IF ON THE WEBSITE IT SAYS IT'S UPDATED BUT HONDA DEALER REPAIRED IT 2 DAYS AGO ?

MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON SO I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM POHANKA HONDA. THIS OCCURRED BEFORE THE SRS RECALL WAS ISSUED. HONDA SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY SRS UNIT ALONG WITH MY GAUGE CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. HONDA WAS GOING TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR & LABOR FOR $1,200. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY BUT WAS CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY SO I ORDERED THE PARTS AND GOT IT REPAIRED OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP. HERE'S THE ISSUE, I WAS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR PARTS ($500) BUT HONDA MANUFACTURE ONLY WILLING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR JUST THE SRS UNIT ($200) AND NOT THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ($300). I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO COVER THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE SINCE THE CODE THAT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE HONDA TECHNICIAN REVEALED THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. SINCE I FOLLOWED GUIDANCE BY POHANKA HONDA, I'M WITHOUT $300 BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE SRS UNIT. IF POHANKA HONDA WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE REPAIR FOR $1,200, HONDA MANUFACTURE WOULD HAVE REIMBURSED ME FOR $1,200. I BELIEVE I'M BEING PENALIZED BECAUSE THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL TAKATA AIRBAG NOTIFICATIONS TO TAKE MY CARE IN TO SERVICE THE RECALL R21. THE SAME RECALL FOR MY CAR IS LISTED WHEN I ENTER MY AUTO VIN IN THE WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS. ALSO, MY 2008 YEAR CAR TYPE IS NOT LISTED IN THE WWW.NYTIMES.COM/INTERACTIVE/2015/06/22/BUSINESS/INTERNATIONAL/TAKATA-AIRBAG-RECALL-LIST.HTM LIST OF CARS NEEDING THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TYPE OF CAR IS NOT APPLICABLE. I AM CONFLICTED SINCE I AM RECEIVING THESE NOTICES AND THIS RECALL IS LISTED IN THE NHTSA WEBSITE. PLEASE ADVISE IF MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD CAR SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE THE R21 RECALL FIX? IF I SHOULD PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I NEED TO DO SINCE THE HONDA ACCORD SERVICE STATE I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR THAT NEEDS THE RECALL FIX.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED A LETTER APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AGO INFORMING ME OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AFFECTING MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER STATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THAT TIME, BUT I WOULD BE CONTACTED AT A LATER DATE WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE. AS OF MARCH 27TH, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION. THE "SAFERCAR.GOV" WEBSITE SAYS "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE", AND A SEARCH ON THE OFFICIAL HONDA WEBSITE SAYS THAT THERE IS "NO OPEN RECALL", SO I AM UNABLE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 11/22 IN REGARDS TO AN SRS ECU RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT REPAIR WOULD ONLY BE COMPLETED AFTER A UNIT FAILURE. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA RECALL NOTICE THE REPAIR SHOULD BE COMPLETED ON 100% OF EFFECTED VEHICLES AS A PREVENTIVE REPAIR.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT FOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY.
