NHTSA recall 14V-351, safety recall letter dated April 2015. I have called the local Honda dealership (brannon Honda - birmingham al) many times since April 2015 and every time they claim that Honda has not sent them the parts to fix these death dealing air bags. Apparently, the NHTSA is merely an afterthought to Honda! how is one supposed to get the problem with these air bag systems corrected"?"

I called and registered for the airbag recall (Honda's campaign number for this recall is JH2.) on 2/18/2015 and was told it will take 4 weeks for parts back order. I called princeton Honda (609-683-0722 ext. 3327)on 3/16/2015 & 4/22/2015 left messages asking for the status of recall. No one called back or write back for the recall status. I have waited for 3 months instead of 4 weeks for this recall and no one can help me to get the status of this recall. Please help me!

This information is regarding the already existing air bag recall by Honda. I received a recall notice in the mail today (April 15, 2015) and called my local dealer for an appointment. The earliest appointment was July 10, 2015. Because this is a safety recall notice, I called Honda customer service and inquired as to why a safety issue recall would take nearly 3 months to remedy. I was told that most patrons are waiting longer than that and he ([xxx]) was surprised that I actually got a specific appointment. He said there is a supply backlog of replacement air bags. I replied that with a safety issue such as this, and given the resources of Honda motor co., they should do whatever is necessary to expedite the process. Are customers supposed to drive their vehicles not knowing if a catastrophic occurrence could happen at any time" my question for NHTSA is are you aware of this repair delay and have you demanded that Honda expedite the process" thank you.

Ridgeline

  • 173,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that the service engine sensor, vtm sensor, ESC sensor, and the air bag sensor intermittently illuminated and flashed. The failure worsened and all four sensors remained illuminated while the vehicle was in motion. In addition, the all wheel drive was not functioning properly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who reset the code. When the three failure codes came back, it was diagnosed that one of the three banks needed to be replaced for the catalytic converter on the front driver side. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 14V700000 (air bags), 14V353000 (air bags), and 14V351000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 173,000.

Honda is only recalling my make and model in certain geographical areas due to their perception of the humidity in those areas. The humidity in Maryland where I live in the summer can be just as bad as Georgia's. they should be recalling my vehicle in Maryland just as they are in other states. Please make them recall my vehicle. Thank you.

Ridgeline 4WD 6-cyl

  • 57,000 miles
I have contacted Honda via the 800 number and the local dealer to get the airbag replaced but they say the car is not covered because it is not registered in a humid southern state (it is registered in Virginia, which actually has very hot and humid summers). I told them that I frequently travel to the South and asked for the data and science on how much exposure causes the screws in the airbag to rust and become dangerous - they have nothing to provide but "an estimate." I want my airbag replaced under the recall which is supposed to cover all 2006 Ridgelines. I am not comfortable driving the vehicle now, knowing that a number of the faulty airbag deployments and injuries actually took place outside the states covered by the recall. I have also notified my attorney of my concern and my attempts to get help from Honda.

: the contact stated while driving at 20 mph on normal road conditions, the driver and passenger side airbags unwarrantly deployed. No accident was involved and no injuries were reported. The airbag warning light did not illuminate prior to the deployment. The dealer was contacted who determined the unwarranted deployment was due to mud located underneath the vehicle. Pictures were taken by the dealership.
