This is regarding the 15V-665 recall for SRS ECU software upgrade on 2008-2009 Honda Accord. I made an appointment at stevens creek Honda to bring my car in for the recall. When I got there, they indicated that the recall for the software upgrade had been superceded by another recall action requiring a part that was not available yet. I asked why they let customers make a recall appointment if they already know the recall cannot be done. Service attendant could not answer the question and I wasted some time off from work. Then I talk to Honda North America and they insist I need to get the software upgrade and do not know why stevens creek told me otherwise. Over the next+ weeks* Honda North America tried to resolve this with stevens creek. Twice Honda North America told me it was cleared up and to go ahead and make an appointment for the recall. But then when I called stevens creek I'm still told either 15V-665 is superceded by recall 16V-056 which requires parts not yet available or that it only needs to be done if my SRS light is on. But again when I talk to Honda North America they insist that 15V-665 and 16V-056 are different recalls even though both have to do with the air bag and that the 15V-665 software upgrade has nothing to do with the SRS light. I finally gave up and made an appointment at another dealership further away. But if this recall is the safety issue that Honda North America tells me it is, then I can only assume stevens creek is putting drivers at risk by not servicing the recalls as instructed my Honda North America.

SRS ECU recall has been poorly handle by Honda corporation. My car is a 2008 Honda Accord and I got a recall notice recall15V-665 and it has not been resolved as of this date. I first visited team Honda in baton rouge, Louisiana on January 12, 2016 and was told that it was not related to recall. I was told the cost would be $500 to repair. I was unable to pay for repair at that time. I visited them again when I got a notice and they still was unable to make the repair and now I am being told it would be sometime this summer before parts will be available. I do not feel safe driving this car and would like to either get my car repaired or a rental car.

"takata recall, my complaint is because I received a recall on my SRS ECU parts to be changed and Honda refuses to give my dealer permission to fix my car inspite the fact that I received a recall letter from them. They continue to say that because the light is not on in my car for the air bag that it do not need to be fixed. But yet I have a recalled on my side airbag and my fontal airbag. Its not fair that these people would not care that my family and I am at risk for injury or to injury someone. Please help me because this has cause lots of mental and physical strain on my health.
