I AM FILING A SAFETY COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SAFETY RECALL ON MY 98 HONDA ACCORD. THE RECALL LISTED THE RISKS AS INCLUDING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY OR DEPLOYS AND EXPELS METAL FRAGMENTS. THERE IS STILL NO REPLACEMENT PARTS OR UPDATES ABOUT WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND AM REQUESTING AN UPDATE FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THE SAME RECALL NOTICE BEFORE AN INCIDENT HAPPENS.

WE WERE ALERTED IN MARCH,2020 OF A RECALL INVOLVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT COULD CAUSE HARM OR DEATH. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO INQUIRE WHEN THE PARTS TO REPLACE THIS DEFECT WOULD BE IN. IT IS NOW AUGUST, 2020. WE FEEL WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS. WE HAVE RECEIVED NO SUPPORT FROM HONDA ON THIS
