Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2002 Honda Civic

I received a recall notice from Honda saying ". . . Have your vehicle's driver's front airbag inflator replaced, at no cost to you. " this is part of NHTSA recall 14v-351 I go to the dealer - ken harvey's dublin Honda and they say they will inspect the air bag and if it is not a tanaka inflator, then it will not be replaced. I show them the recall notice saying it would be replaced. The service rep said that per Honda, they only inspect and if it is not a tanaka, then it will not be replaced. Either american Honda motor and or the NHTSA should clarify this recall notice. Honda knows exactly which car I have and should know which inflator I have. The recall notice says they will replace it, but they now claim it is not a tanaka inflator and they will not replace it.

I took vehicle for air bag inflator recall, driver side and passenger side, at autonation Honda 385, in memphis, TN. They have done this work on June, 23, 2015. But dealer states new srs unit needed at my cost of about $ 800. 00, otherwise airbag is not going to come out at the time of accident . I called Honda, headquater, they refuse to replace srs unit. I am still at safety risk of driving vehicle if air bag is not going to work. I fill the issue of air bag and srs unit both are connected to each other for air bag to work at the time of accident, and Honda should replace srs unit also under safety recall with air bag replacement campaign.

I was proceeding to make a left turn after stopping and looking at an all-way stop. A Ford truck coming the opposite direction ran the stop and crashed into my car in the right-front. The airbags deployed and I was stunned by the impact. My left ear and face were severely lacerated by fragments of the airbag inflator (which were found and photo-documented), resulting in 29 stitches and permanent scaring. Shortly after the accident, Honda sent me a recall notice regarding the airbag inflator: this was the first time I was made aware of the fact that the airbag inflator was known to produce shrapnel and had caused fatalities. Despite having owned the car since 2003 and having it serviced at dealerships several times over the years, I had not received any prior information regarding the lethal airbag defect. Honda has been irresponsible and apathetic regarding my situation and the problem in general. I could have easily been injured worse or killed by the fragments, yet the company seems to not take the problem seriously. I will absolutely never own another Honda, will forbid my family and loved ones from owning a Honda.

I have a 2002 Honda Civic si version. The srs light always light up. I have bought my car back to the Honda dealer to have it service a few times. It was just a temporary fix.
