I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION (INCLUDING TO DATE.....SEVERAL MONTHS LATER). WHEN I SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON MY CRV IN JUNE, THE ONLINE SYSTEM ASKED ME IF I ALSO WANTED TO RESCHEDULE TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. I DID, AND RECEIVED CONFIRMATION THAT WAS PART OF MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. WHEN I WENT FOR MY MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO AIRBAGS AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY I HAD REQUESTED TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT NOTIFIED ME ANY WERE AVAILABLE. I WAS AGAIN TOLD THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THERE WERE AIRBAGS IN STOCK AND I COULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE FOR THE RECALL. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED THAT ANY ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT I CAN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALLED, DANGEROUS AIRBAG REPLACED AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL.
