TAKA RECALL, MY CAR HAS HAD THE FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAG ON RECALL NOW FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR. I AM NOT ABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT AND HONDA IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ME A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG TO BE INSTALLED. IT WAS PROMISED TO BE PROVIDED IN THE SUMMER OR FALL AND HERE WE ARE ALMOST IN NOVEMBER AND MY CAR IS PRACTICALLY USELESS. IS THERE NO REQUIREMENTS FOR THEM TO EITHER MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE QUICKER OR A LOANER?
