| Description of the problem | "takata recall" ?? Nhtsa recall 16v-061. I received safety recall notice in march 2016. For this vehicle. The notice does not mention takata specifically. I notified o'neil honda dealership and have called monthly to check on status. I've been told that parts are on order and delay is due to national recall, shortage of parts and delay due to earthquakes in japan, where possible manufacture or distribution is located. Reasonable time of 60 days to make repair has passed. The only reason i am filing a complaint is due to having a similar issue with a toyota vehicle, where it took over 6 months to get a recall repair made. If honda & toyota and other auto manufactures are having problems getting there parts from outside the country. It seems reasonable to set up manufacture and distributions within the united states to solve the problem. This recall specifically regarding air bags is of extreme nature due to the number of affected vehicles. There have already been reported deaths and injury in my state of kansas. I expect the department of transportation to take and active role in expediting a resolution to this national safety issue. And furthermore to enact legislation to protect us citizens and demand accountability from automobile manufacturers, regarding their suppliers and the need for timely resolution. It seems reasonable to expect the auto makers to find an alternative solution, even if it means operating a manufacturing plant here in the us to make the parts required to meet the demand for this specific recall. Air bags are on a level with seat belts in saving lives. Its time to stop the excuses, the delays and long wait for the consumer. Where is the protection we are promised not only from big corporations, but our government as well. Please, please take some action... Now, not next year. |
