- Las Vegas, NV, USA
I received a notification that my vehicle was among those included in a recall for the passenger side air bag. As instructed, I called a local Honda dealership to set up a time to have the part replaced. That was on February 11, 2015. I was told the part had to be ordered and that I would be contacted when I could bring my car in for the repair. It has been more than 60 days and I have not received any further information. I don't have time to chase Honda to replace a faulty part on my vehicle and I certainly don't feel comfortable having anyone sit in the passenger side of my car. It has become an inconvenience.

I have a recall on both driver and passenger air bag. I have called the Honda dealership in grand island Nebraska 7 times and tried scheduling online 2 times to have the recall fixed it has been almost 90 days now, and I have yet to have them call back with a appointment. I drive this car 45 miles on the highway daily and do not feel safe. The letter I was sent in January 2015 said to give the dealership 60 days to remedy the problem. I'm very concerned about the complete disregard for the safety of not only myself but other drivers and passengers in these vehicles.

- Chula Vista, CA, USA
No accident \ I am reporting inaccurate information on this website and corresponding Honda website regarding airbag recall on this vehicle. There are no options 2 or 4 from the Honda website setup for recall. There is no way to register this vehicle for airbag replacement (and we recently purchased it used so it may not be properly registered at Honda corporate - though we have had it serviced at our local Honda dealer). This process of registering for airbag replacement should be available 24/7. no excuses. Honda is not being proactive.
- Briarcliff Manor, NY, USA
I received a letter from Honda stating that the passenger and driver airbag was defective and could deploy abnormally causing metal fragments to pass through the airbag cushion material causing serious injury or fatality to vehicle occupants. I called the Honda dealer to make an appointment to have it repaired at no cost as indicated in their letter. However they cannot have it repaired because they do not have the parts. It has been two weeks since I first called them and every time I follow up their answer is that parts have been ordered and they have no indication when it will arrive. Driving this vehicle puts my family and others on the road in great danger. Is there a way Honda can have this repaired sooner" or are they trying to avoid incurring the cost"
