Failure Date: 12/14/2017

Received a recall notice on my 2004 Civic stating the driver's airbag inflator needed to be replaced. Took it to the closet dealership. After an inspection of the vehicle I was told they were unable to perform the recall due to airbag belongs to a different year Civic and recall is not valid. When purchasing the used vehicle I was not informed of that the airbag had been replaced. After receiving another notice that I had not completed the safety recall I took it again to the dealership, along with the written safety recall notice. Again I was told my vehicle did not have the original air bag installed. I have received a third notice about the recall from Honda and do not understand why the dealership did not report this information on my vehicle. How do I know that the airbag in my vehicle is safe?.
