Description of the problem | Takata recall: i received the takata air bag recall notice in the mail over 40 days after it was issued. The parts will not be available until fall of 2016. The remedy honda provided is to "not have a passenger sit in the front seat." this is insane. How is this possible? Someone has been siting in my front seat for the past 40 days before i received the recall and now my car is basically inoperable for passengers for the next 3-6 months? This is not a sufficient remedy of a products completed mistake by honda. We should be provided rental cars and rental reimbursement until the cars are fixed. I have already called honda's customer support number and was told i would get a call by a "case manager" in three days. This is extremely disappointing and completely dangerous. The recall verbatim lists " metal fragments could pass through the airbag causing injury to the passenger". Well why wouldn't those fragments hurt someone in the backseat or come over to the driver side? Honda is basically saying if you get in a car crash and your airbag deploys you are going to get hurt. Please help honda be accountable for this grievance. |
