    Takata recall: i received a "srs ecu failure" recall notice and contacted a honda dealership for support. They told me to disregard the recall. I went to a second dealership and they replaced one part but had to "order" another. That second part still has not been replaced and it has been over a year now. I have not received a service update or appointment. Is my car safe?

    My side airbags deployed when i hit a very deep pot hole. I took it to the dealer but they said they cannot help because it's not on a recall but there apparently is a problem because the airbags deployed. The airbags are now hanging in my car. If i get into an accident these will obviously not work. Please advise what can i do to get these fixed as it clearly is a malfunction issue.
