RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE DATED JANUARY 2015 REQUIRING AIR BAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. CALLED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT FOR RECALL REPAIR BUT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO DEALER. WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS FOR PARTS TO COME IN BUT STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO DEALER. IT IS NOW 19 MARCH 2015 AND STILL NO PARTS. AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE BEFORE FEBRUARY 12 TO GET THE RECALLED AIRBAGS FIXED, BUT 2 DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER UNTIL "SOME TIME IN APRIL." I KEEP GETTING REPEAT LETTERS WARNING ME THAT THE FAULTY AIRBAGS "COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE," AND THE LETTERS STATE THERE CAN BE "PROVISION OF, OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR, TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, AS NECESSARY." BUT BOTH HONDA DEALERS I'VE CONTACTED HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE THIS ALTERNATIVE. MY 2003 HONDA CRV IS MY ONLY CAR; THUS, IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

MY PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER I GOT THE RECALL INFORMATION THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW LONG DO THE COMPANIES HAVE TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERS?THE RECALL LETTER CAME OUT IN JANUARY. IT IS NOW THE MIDDLE OF MARCH. *TR
