Rakata recall. I took my car to Honda of chantilly for the passenger side airbag recall. They did the work and gave me my car back. While it was in they replaced the battery, and I asked for the old one back so I could return it to the store where I purchased it for a refund. When I got back in my car to leave, the old battery wasn't in it. I checked and they hadn't replaced my battery. Turns out they did the airbag recall and battery replacement on someone else's car. They had recorded that they had performed the recall and sent me on my way, and if I hadn't asked for my old battery back nobody would have known that I still had the defective airbag in my vehicle. They didn't check the VIN when they did the work.
