Takata recall - we received an "important safety recall" notice, informing us of the defects in passenger-side airbag inflators. Needless to say, the nature of the defect is such that I would not feel safe having myself or a family member ride in the vehicle in the passenger-side front seat. A similar recall notice came out about the driver-side airbags a couple of months ago. That part was available quickly, and the repair work for the recall done expeditiously. I have to assume that is because my dealership (or american Honda motor corporation) was paying for my rental car in the interim. I think it has been too long for this repair/recall to be addressed, as I received the notice and contacted my dealership to have the repair done two months ago. It is decidedly inconvenient to have to

Takata recall--first called to order parts in recall ( driver and passenger airbag inflators) on july 7. Just called ( september 12) and parts still not available. I do not feel safe driving my car since the driver's airbag is affected by this recall. I do not feel they are responding in an appropriate amount of time to rectify this issue. Dealer had no idea when parts would be available. It's been well over 60 days since I first called to have parts replaced.

Takata recall: I was just notified on wednesday august 3, 2016 by telephone by Acura executive customer relations that my passenger airbag replacement has been ordered. This woman notified me additionally that I should not have anyone sit in the front passenger seat. I purchased this car as a family car, a family sedan. I must have availability of my front passenger seat; it cannot go empty. I stated this to Acura and requested they take specific action because they need to get me a rental vehicle if no one can sit on my front passenger seat without risking their life because of profit driven motives by takata and Acura. This is my second 2010 Acura rl; the first one was totaled in an front-to-rear-end collision where my airbag deployed. Fortunately, this deployment did not result I
