In owners' own words
My vehicle is noted on Honda.Com as possibly having an airbag defect. Airbags made by takarta. When I did a search on the vin the status read: recall incomplete. I'm not sure what this means. Do you have any additional information about this recall? I heard on channel 9 news in washington, dc today that recently more vehicles, in the millions, have been added to this recall. Thanks for your help. Air bags
