When the warning does come on it typically will start when the key is turned to "start" and stays on…

    Takata recall: my 2004 honda accord is in a recall group but when i type in the vin, it shows that it is not subject to recall.

    Takata recall. Why was my 2004 honda accord never included in one of the three recalls (15v320000, 14v700000, 15v370000) affecting the 2004 honda accord? I previously asked honda but they would not respond. What is the technical explanation why my accord was not included in these recalls.?

    I just tried to trade in my vehicle today and the dealer declined it due to a recall notice. I in fact had all the airbags replaced in september 2016 due to a recall notice and never even knew anything about this 2004 recall! Thanks honda!!! Do the new airbags not take precedence over this recall? Can you please take this off of the nhtsa website so i can sell my car?

    Takata recall my local paper stated that you have declared all honda air bags to be unsafe, particularly those for 2004 honda accords located in the high heat and humidity associated with florida. I have contacted honda on two separate occasions and have been told that my car is "completely safe". I don't feel safe and would like to know what nhtsa is doing about this situation. Thanks
