1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2019

Takata recall: this is regarding a 2007 Honda Element. We have not owned this vehicle since 2007, and probably traded it on another car. It's bern such a long time, we do not remember which dealer we dealt with. We have received numerous recall notices from Honda, and each time, by phone or response card, have informed them that we no longer own the car. Please update your records, and take us off of the notification list. We will no longer respond to notices regarding this car. It's annoying that Honda is unable to update their records with our numerous contacts with them. Thank you.
