1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2020

I was notified by american Honda that my vehicle required a safety recall of the takata Honda passenger airbag inflator (recall # 19-076). Upon inspection the Honda technician found that "one of the securing studs for the assembly is broken and replacement of the dashboard frame is required. " at this point my "free" recall came with a charge of $820. American Honda was only willing to pay 10%. The vehicle was previously recalled in 2015 for the same problem. In all likelihood the securing stud was broken during that service. American Honda refuses to acknowledge the most likely scenario and instead has decided to hold me personally responsible for the repair.

Recall # jf7 passenger airbag inflator (for 2003 - 2007 Honda Pilots sold in high absolute humidity states) my vehicle was sold new in February 2003 in myrtle beach, an ocean-front city in south carolina, one of the states refered to in the above recall as having high absolute humidity. The vehicle remained titled in coastal south carolina from February 2003 until March 2007, a period of four years. Because the vehicle spent the first four years of its existence in an area of high absolute humidity, I am concerned about the present and future functionality of both driver and passenger airbag inflators. Please add my vehicle to the recall list for replacement of both airbag inflators. Thank you.
