Description of the problem | Takata recall i own two honda accords, a 2010 honda accord (vin [xxx]) and a 2013 honda accord vin [xxx]). Both accords have been identified in the takata bankruptcy proceedings as needing air bag replacements. I finally received the official honda recall for the 2010 honda accord passenger side airbag this past friday, 2/23/18. I have still not received any recall to fix the 2013 honda accord air bag(s). I called the honda dealership where i purchased both cars new and was told there would be a recall "at some future point" for the 2013 honda accord, but the service advisor i spoke to could not be more specific than that. In december, 2017 there were no airbag recalls for either honda accord on the nhtsa website. I just checked again for an airbag recall on the 2013 honda accord and nothing for airbags. The recall for the 2010 honda accord specifically states: "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall has been performed." obviously, this is pretty dangerous stuff. I have received no advisories and no safety advice or precautions from honda automobile division / american honda motor company regarding front passengers or steps to take to avoid injury in case of air bag deployment in the meantime (or until such time as a recall is officially ordered). If these takaka airbags are a known dangerous issue for over two years now and these airbags can kill or injure passengers, and my 2010 honda just received it's recall now, in february, 2018 - when can i expect to see the recall on my 2013 honda accord? 2021? I cannot sell or trade my 2013 because of this known airbag problem, other dealers will not touch this car. Please take action to force honda to advise owners to give a projected date for a recall and what to do until such time as a recall is ordered / available.
