1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

I have received a notice from America Honda motor company on March 2020 (NHTSA recall 20v-026) that the inflator inside the driver frontal airbag module may absorb moisture, which may cause the driver frontal airbag to malfunction in a crash where the airbag deploys. The letter states "the replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle, if necessary, are not available and Acura is unable to inspect/repair your vehicle at this time. " I called a local Acura dealer on 9/1/2020 and was told that the parts are still not available and they are expected may 2021. This timeframe seems unreasonable to me.
