Takata recall- went to dealership to get my air bag replace, which they did't have needed to be order and waited 6 weeks. On October the 09, 2016 I was on a vehicle accident driving 25 miles and hour the right side tire hit and embankment and damaged my car for a total loss. The deployment of the airbag hit my chest with such force that my sternum was fracture and bruise through out my chest. I have being having severe pain for the past three weeks. The road is and uphill curve which the speed limit is 25 miles and is two lane road the vehicle behind me had lights on which I believe also were a factor because the lights reflected on the rearview mirror and was to close. Will summit a chp report when necessary.

Takata recall. 7 months, or more, after the recall was announced the local Honda dealer still does not have the recall parts in stock. Nor was I notified that parts were available, despite assurance that I would be notified, but that I must call each morning to see if the parts might have arrived and then reserve them by then making an appointment for replacement.

I was notified by letter earlier this year about the JY1 recall and I have not heard back. The parts were supposed to become available this summer and the website is still showing that a remedy is not available. I don't want to get in an accident and my air bag deploy and kill myself or someone else while driving. I don't believe that is extreme as others have lost lives due to recalls not having been completed.
