| Description of the problem | I received a recall notice in the mail from honda in february of 2020. The recall notice states that my 2001 honda crv is unsafe to drive. I have been in contact with honda since march 9, 2020 and they have not offered a solution, updates, or information concerning this. I have been told by two employees that the part to fix this issue is not available and is no longer manufactured at this time. One employee went so far as to tell me that it is not an issue and my vehicle is not unsafe. This is untrue. The recall notice states, "due to a manufacturing issue, the inflator inside the driver frontal airbag module may absorb moisture, which may cause the driver frontal airbag to malfunction in a crash where the airbag deploys. The airbag could under-inflate during deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the driver. The airbag inflator could also rupture during deployment, with metal fragments possibly striking the driver or passengers, increasing the risk of serious injury or death." they also refuse to give a deadline for this issue to be resolved by. I am writing this complaint as of august 8,2020 whilst sitting here with honda on the phone. |
