    Takata recall. Honda contacted me again regarding the takata airbag inflator. I traded this car into an acura dealer approximately 10 years ago. I have contacted honda by phone and mail 5 or 6 times yet they still haven't corrected this. Somewhere someone is driving a dangerous vehicle. I sure they could find this car if they followed up correctly. They are obviously not very concerned about safety.

The other recall still has no remedy at this time and judging from the text on nhtsa recall #16v-056 it sounds serious. Please help me to remedy this situation. Thanks,
