Takata recall - we received the initial recall letter from Honda and immediately took our vehicle in for service. We were told that parts would be ordered and it could take 3 months. 6 Months have passed and the airbag has not been repaired. With 2 small children who ride in the vehicle each day, this is unacceptable. We ask for your help in getting our airbag(s) replaced. Air bags
