They also apologized, but stated they had been unable to obtain the part, but that it should be available by the end of July. It is now August 3rd, 2015 and I have not heard anything from anyone.

16 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2015

I called Honda plaza bklyn NY in July in reference to the recall letter I received. They said they would get back to me. I called 2 more times & was told someone would call me. No one ever called. They say I'm on the list but will not tell me what # on the list I am. According to the letter I received the airbag recall should be taken care of within 60 days. It is now over the 60 days. I was going to go to bay ridge Honda but they can't promise me how long it will take & don't offer loaner cars. They have a shuttle bus but it will only get me home. I still need a car to go to work. I leave my home at 3. 30p. To work nights so the shuttle they offered will not help me. I bought 2 cars from plaza Honda and any time I have to deal with the service dept. At plaza it's always a problem but now it's a really big problem because it has to do with my safety. I need someone's help to see why plaza Honda is - a. Not getting back to me when I'm told someone will call me. -b what number am I on there list. -c why this is taking over the 60 day period. Any help you can give with this will be greatly appreciated.

35 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2014

Nhtsa recall #14v-353 issued on 19-June-2014, within 30 days of that date my vehicle was taken to my local Honda dealer who routinely performs my scheduled maintenance, I was advised at that time that the part was on order. I've been waiting for over one year and no change in availability has occurred. On 15-July-2015 I received a letter from Honda automobile division in California that if american Honda or my dealer has failed to remedy the defect in my vehicle "within a reasonable period of time” (60 days after the date I first contacted the dealer for a repair appointment), I should then submit to the national highway traffic safety administration. Considering Honda has continued to manufacture this vehicle and since there does not seem to be a shortage of airbags for "new" vehicles, I find it concerning that I and many other loyal consumers should be needlessly placed in jeopardy.
