Odyssey

According to the safety recall notice, I was to make an appointment to have my driver's airbag replaced immediately. It has now been 3 months since I called to make an appointment and I have yet to hear about scheduling me in. Its the only vehicle available to me so I have no choice but to drive it...always concerned that I may get into an accident and have the airbag malfunction. What gives?
