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.
