I AM CURRENTLY STATIONED IN GERMANY AND RETURNING TO US IN THE END OF AUGUST. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HONDA TO HELP ME CORRECT THE SAFETY RECALL ON THE RIVETS SINCE JUNE AND THEY HAVE NOT HELP ME. I CANNOT SHIP MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE US UNLESS ALL THE SAFETY RECALLS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. I EVEN PAID THE LOCAL GERMAN HONDA DEALER TO CONDUCT THE INSPECTION ON THE RIVETS FOR THE AIR BAG AND THEY SAID ALL WAS OK. BUT HONDA HAS NOT CLEARED THE DATABASE.

I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT SAID THAT I NEED TO CALL TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO AN HONDA DEALER TO REPAIR THE PASSAGE AIR BAG

I GOT AN ACCIDENT ON 06/30/2016 AND STILL WAITING FOR MY HONDA PILOT 2012 AIRBAG (PASSENGER SIDE) SINCE MONTH AND A HALF. I OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA TO PROVIDE ME AN ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DELIVER THE AIRBAG WITHIN REASONABLE TIMEFRAME BUT IT ENDED UP WITH A MOMENT OF DISAPPOINTMENT. AFTER THREE WEEKS OF HASSLE, THE AMERICAN HONDA SAID WE CANNOT PROVIDE YOU ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AS THE AIR BAG IS NOT PART OF RECALL. HOWEVER, THE CASE MANAGER SAID "THE PART IS ON CRITICAL BACKORDER, IT'S ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL AND THERE IS NO ETA". THE DISAPPOINTMENT DOES NOT END HERE! I ASK THE CASE MANAGER TO SEND ME THIS DECISION IN BLACK AND WHITE SO I CAN DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH LEGAL EXPERTS BUT ALL I HEAR NO, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO SO. MOREOVER, I ASKED AMERICAN HONDA TO TALK TO SUPERVISOR OF MY CASE MANAGER AND ITS ALMOST A WEEK SINCE I AM WAITING, WAITING AND WAITING. JUST SO YOU KNOW, FOR ME IT'S A BIG WASTE OF TIME AND I FOUND HONDA SERVICE REPS REALLY UNPROFESSIONAL.

AIRBAG WAS RECALLED/REPLACED IN 2012-2013. HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. HIS AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND LEFT A NASTY BURN ON HIS ARM. HE WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE POWDER. ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN TOWN WHILE TURNING SO RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED. I FELT HE SHOULD REPORT THE INCIDENT BACK IN OCTOBER 2014 BEFORE I HAD HEARD ABOUT THESE RECENT AIRBAG RECALLS. MY CONCERN IS THERE MAY BE PROBLEMS WITH THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IF THAT IS WHAT HE RECEIVED - I DONT HAVE ACCESS TO HIS VIN NUMBER RIGHT NOW.
