Takata recall ithaca carshare is a small non-profit organization serving 1,400 community members with 25 vehicles available for self-serve reservations on a 24/7 basis. Six of these vehicles are Honda Fits affected by the takata recall. For the safety of our members and liability purposes, we removed these vehicles from service on April 4, 2016. We have spoken with both our local Honda dealer and Honda corporate multiple times, and thus far both have refused to provide any compensation for the loss of revenue caused by these vehicles being unsafe to drive. Each vehicle requires installation of specialty hardware for our use, so substitute vehicles provided by Honda (which have not been offered) are not an option for us. As each day goes by, we lose $250-300 in revenue, so as of this writing we have lost over $3,000. As a small non-profit, this recall has a huge effect on our budget. We expect that our losses will total at least $10,000, if not more. Failure of Honda to provide compensation for this loss is both inconvenient and unacceptable. We continue to seek compensation for this loss and request any assistance you may offer on our behalf.

Takata recall I called two Honda dealers as well as the corporate office the same day as I received the recall notification for my vehicle. In all cases, through repeated phone calls, I have been told that despite the danger of the recalled item if it malfunctions, there is a 2 - 5 month wait before the part can be replaced. In the meantime, I am expected to drive the defective vehicle.

"takata recall" this weekend I received the recall notice and when I called the dealership I find I can have a rental car, but it comes with restrictions. If my car is unsafe I need a comparable vehicle now. I called the Honda automobile division of american Honda motor co number that was included in the notice, but it will be a couple of days before they can get back to me. Again, if this car is unsafe, I need another vehicle, but comparable vehicle without restrictions, now. I have not had an accident, but I now dread this becoming a notification from a next of kin.
