TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH COOPER COBRA RADIAL G/T TIRES, SIZE: 93/215/60R5 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A LOUD BANGING NOISE EMERGED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOOK AND VIBRATED. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS CONTACTED LAST FALL BY HONDA MOTOR CORP ADVISING ME THAT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS PART OF THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT MY HONDA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I DID NOTHING MORE AT THAT TIME BUT AM BECOMING MORE CONCERNED AS I LEARN OF THE EXPANDED RECALLS BEING ANNOUNCED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MY 2000 ACCORD IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE 2001 AND 2002 MODEL YEARS. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE 2000 ACCORD FROM THE 2001 AND OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT WOULD EXCLUDE MY MODEL YEAR FROM THE RECALL? AND, WHY WOULD HONDA MOTORS NOTIFY ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THEN LATER BE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS NOT? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET AN ANSWER TO EITHER OF THESE QUESTIONS FROM MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN CONTACTING HONDA MOTORS FOR A RESPONSE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
