Thanks.

I got the driver side fixed a year or so ago. Honda sent me a letter in the mail telling me to go to the dealer and get it fixed. Ill go and get the passenger side also!

Lol, I got that recall in the mail a long time ago. Been too lazy/busy to get it taken care of

Maybe the new letter is just expanded serial numbers or something. Had mine fixed a couple years ago. It took no time, the drive to the dealer took longer.

If it's the headlight switch recall, got it a long while ago.

link broke.

Its a new Airbag Recall. The file went missing from the honda website for some reason....

I re-uploaded it up though.

I think this is for passenger side airbag.

It is passenger side

If you follow original link and go to view recalls and type in your vin it will tell you if your included.

CALM DOWN, DON'T PANIC!! (lol)


This recall is for the PASSENGER airbag. Not the drivers bag.

You all need to wait a while.


Parts have not been released yet.
We can't even run your VIN report to see if your car is affected yet.

The recall DOCUMENT is still more or less blank. All it says is repair procedures are expected to be posted around April 19th.

OH DEAR WHAT SHALL WE DO?

Oh wait, I don't have passengers...


Guess I'll get it done when i get my car in for seatbelt replacement.

Why even install them?

Because on the off chance that you have a passenger and happen to have a crash and the inflator shreds in their face the lawyer is after you instead of AHMC if you neglected to get a "recall" fixed. Sucky way to have to look at things, but in this lawsuit world we live in we have too.... Not only that it cost you zilch except time...

that's the one involving Toyota, Honda, mazda, etc, if I am not wrong.
vic is still grounded, so did not go to change driver's side yet...

I heard the same on the news that morning.

chozobody

Yeah, 3million+ cars affected.

Visited dealer today and was informed they won't start executing the repair til May. Also inquired about my faulty seatbelt latch but that was like talking to a brick wall.

Wait until you get your official notice letter in the mail from Honda.
On the same note: Make sure Honda (corporate) has you registered as the current owner of that car so you can receive that letter.
Technically, it is not covered by the warranty but some dealers will cover it, and some won't. The shop I work for has been covering it for all but the worst customers.
Have you been a "good customer" at that dealer? That helps.
Or shop around other dealers.

On the latch: I meant the switch fault and SRS light is not technically covered.

However:
If the buckle does not latch, then it would be covered as a mechanical fault under the lifetime seat belt warranty.

ProAc_Fan

Yes, I just purchased the vehicle but previous owner had it faithfully serviced by the local dealer for the last decade. I have a glove box full of receipts from hamburg Honda

Go register as the new owner of that car.
