Takata recall - I am the first and only owner. I did not receive the recall letter. I went to a Honda dealer to duplicate a key and found out about the recall on my CRV. They say it will take more than one month to get the recall done. This is unacceptable delay for such a serious defect.

Takata recall. I am complaining about the way Honda has handled my passenger airbag recall. The driver side recall they handled promptly. But as for the passenger side: I have been calling Honda headquarters for 6 weeks to try to get someone to authorize a rental. Our family is too large to squeeze into the back seat, what with transporting children to sports practice and school. I have been calling Honda since the third week of July, so far I have yet to speak to a manager. I believe Honda has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time.

Takata recall hello, we called Honda on 5/31/16 to order a new passenger side airbag. At the time we were told that it would take a couple months to arrive. I called Honda customer service on 7/29/16 for an update and was provided with case #4880672. On either Monday or Tuesday 8/22-23, we received a call from fletcher jones Honda in Chicago that the airbag we had ordered was in. We were told it would take roughly 3 hours to replace. I made an appointment for Friday 8/26 at 10:30am. When I arrived, I was told that they were also going to replace the driver's side airbag free of charge. I was told the service to replace the passenger side and driver's side airbag would be 4-5 hours. Around 3:15 I received a phone call that my car was ready, but they were not able to replace the passenger's side airbag because after they had opened everything up to put into the replacement bag, they could not find the parts. I was told I would receive a call from the service manager and as of today 9/6, I still have not. My main issues are: -I ordered the passenger side airbag on 5/31 and over 3 months later, still do not have the part -we are putting ourselves in harm's way by driving with a faulty airbag -I took off a day of work and waited 4.5 hours on 8/26 for a service that wasn't even performed and I will have to go back to the city and do the same again. -no one has been able to give me any concrete information as to when the airbag should arrive. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
