Takata recall while i was driving home (vehicle in motion) on paseo padre boulevard in fremont california, my airbags on the right side of the vehicle deployed unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. I was not involved in any accident that would trigger airbags to deploy. I believe the airbags deployed because they have some defective parts. I continue trying to resolve the issue with honda and they ignore me.
