I received a recall notice in July. I contacted Honda to have the recall performed. They told me they would contact me when the parts arrived. It is now almost October and I have received no response to date. The recall notice states that the defect should be remedied within 60 days from the date that the dealer was contacted for a repair appointment. It has been well past 60 days with no response. I contacted them again and left a voicemail today, September 28, 2016.

Takata recall I called the Honda dealership at central avenue in albany NY thinking they could address the dashboard light indicating a malfunction with the airbag knowing in the past there has been a recall on this yet they reported they cant help me other than me purchasing the part. This is a great dilemma for me considering I dont have the money for this and my car wont pass inspection as long as this light is on; the current sticker expires in three days!

Takata recall. Honda recall # KA5. Received notice of recall July 2016. Have not received any indication that remedy for recall is available. According to the website safercar.gov, the recall was made known in May 2016. I would like to know how to resolve this safety issue. This seems to be too much time to wait to have such a serious problem resolved.

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?

Takata recall efforts are not being completed in a timely manner. The recall date for my vehicle (May 23, 2016) was almost four months ago and I'm still told that parts are not available to correct the issue, yet still have to drive around in a vehicle that is potentially deadly. This is unacceptable.
