TAKATA RECALL MAY 23,2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERKA5 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V-346 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARY AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (HONDA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2011 HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO THE EQUIPMENT DEFECT NOTIFICATIONS (16E-042 AND 16E-043) FILED BY TAKATA, THE 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. HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SAFETY RISK IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANT.

HONDA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE MENTIONED PART(S). *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA DATED JULY 2016 ABOUT PROPELLANT WAFERS DEGRADING AND SAYS THAT "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED". AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 19TH, 2017 THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REMEDY READY YET ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE. SO MY FAMILY HAS HAD TO AVOID USING OUR CIVIC AS I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY HEAD CAVED IN BY A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THE LETTER STATES THE PARTS NEEDED WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. *TR

IT SURE IF IT IS A TAKAYUKI INFLATORS RECALL - BUT THE NOTICE FROM HONDA INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AVAILABLE LATER SUMMER OR FALL. IT IS NOW LATE DECEMBER AND I HAVE LOST THE USE OF MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH NO UPDATE AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE RECTIFIED. I HAVE OWNED 6 HONDAS AND THIS MAY BE THE LAST. IT IS PATHETIC THAT WE CANNOT EVEN GET AN UPDATE. I WANT A CAR WHERE ALL THE SEATS ARE USABLE!!!

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA NOTIFYING ME OF A RECALL ON MY PASSENGER AIR BAG IN JULY. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR FOR THIS LONG. I HAVE A ROAD TRIP PLANNED IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NEED MY CAR TO BE SAFE FOR IT.

HONDA SENT ME A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON JULY 2016, OF DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS THAT COULD INJURE OCCUPANT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. NO FURTHER NOTICE RECEIVED ON MY END AND SINCE THEN I WASN'T ABLE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL JULY 2016. THE RECALL CALL HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER JULY 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, PERFORMANCE KINGS HONDA AND WAS TOLD I WAS "ON THE LIST." I CALLED BACK TODAY, 11/11/16, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT AND WOULDN'T HAVE IT UNTIL JUNE 2017. I LOOK ON YOUR WEBSITE AND SEE THAT ALL THESE RECALLS ARE BEING FIXED...WHY IS IT THAT PERFORMANCE KINGS HONDA WILL NOT HAVE THE PART IN UNTIL 2017? THAT IS TOO LONG TO WAIT. I HAVE TO DRIVE CLIENTS AS PART OF MY JOB AND AM RISKING THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND MYSELF.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND TERRIFIED THAT I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY. I SHOULD FEEL SAFE BECAUSE OF MY AIRBAGS BUT INSTEAD I FEEL FEAR. I KEPT MY CAR IN FLORIDA FROM 2008-2012 AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEAT MAY MAKE MY VEHICLE MORE VULNERABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVING PASSENGERS WITH ME. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL CONTACTED DEALER IN LATE JULY. STILL NO REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY AND CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND HONDA, AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT WAS. ON 9/20, I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE BUT THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE VIN-SPECIFIC PART, WHICH TAKES UP TO 4 WEEKS. I THEN CALLED HONDA TO SEE WHY I WASN'T NOTICED THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE, AND THE REP SAID HONDA CHANGED ITS MIND ABOUT SENDING THE PARTS AVAILABILITY NOTICE AND APOLOGIZED FOR THE "MISCOMMUNICATION." THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE ADVISES ME NOT TO HAVE A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. THE HONDA REP WAS VERY POLITE BUT FIRM, ESSENTIALLY TELLING ME TOO BAD; I JUST NEED TO WAIT AND TRY NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE MEANTIME. THE DEALER WAS ALSO CAVALIER ABOUT THE MATTER, SUGGESTING I CHECK BACK IN CASE THEY DON'T CONTACT ME. ASSUMING THE PART IS AVAILABLE IN 4 WEEKS AND THE DEALER FIXES IT QUICKLY, THAT WILL STILL BE 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING A CAR WITH A DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN LETHAL FOR PEOPLE (SHOULD SAY SINCE I KNEW I WAS DRIVING A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFECT). DOESN'T HONDA HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE?
