TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE 16V-344 YESTERDAY, IDENTIFYING A VERY DANGEROUS RISK ASSOCIATED WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. I READ THAT THE REQUIRED PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL "LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." HONDA THEN HAS THE NERVE TO SAY "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." SO I'M NOT TO HAVE FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE UNTIL MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE MAKING THE PART AVAILABLE AND A DEALER FEELS LIKE INSTALLING IT? THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTICE TELLING ME NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT FIXES WON'T BE AVAILABLE TO LATE SUMMER OR FALL. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO IN THE MEANTIME. THIS IS AN INSANELY INADEQUATE FIX. I NEED A CAR THAT I WON'T KILL A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IN THE NET 5 MONTHS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 FROM HONDA. THE LETTER SAID THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP WHEN THEY HAVE THE PARTS IN LATE SPRING OR FALL. IT IS DECEMBER AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HONDA.
