Takata recall: I am writing to you, in order to ask your assistance. I have Honda Pilot, with takata recall, but already for a year I am not driving this car, as Honda does not give me any answer when the recall would be made. I have registered a claim a year ago, wrote to Honda recalls several times (attached file below), also as I made dozen of calls to them. Additionally I have enquired to local dealership in order to seek assistance there, but I did not get any answer and from them. Can you help me with following: 1. find out the date, when it is possible to make a recall for takata airbags. 2. can you, please, explain me, who will cover the costs, of Honda inactivity for a year, as I cannot drive the car, with faulty airbags.

I received a recall notice for the driver's side airbag and had the repair performed in May. In July, I received a second recall notice for the driver's side airbag which clearly states "even if your vehicle was previously repaired, your vehicle is still covered by this recall and will need to be repaired again." However, on checking the VIN number on both the recall website and with my dealership, there are no open recalls shown. Which is correct - that there must be a second repair or that there are no further repairs necessary?
