Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2009 Honda Pilot

Takata recall. A letter was sent to me in July 2016 regarding the passenger side airbag. The safety concern was the airbag could cause metal fragments to injure the passengers in the vehicle if the airbag was deployed. The suggestion was to "not sit in the front passenger seat" until the parts were available for the recall/repair. A remedy was supposed to be done by summer/fall 2016 and I have still not received any update from Honda. We purchased this particular model because it can seat up to 8 and fit our whole family. Not sitting in the front passenger seat for 5 months was really not a viable option. Instead when we are forced to use all seats, we put our family at risk for airbag to go off and 'metal fragments' potentially injuring our family. This is unacceptable.
