TAKATA RECALL. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE A JULY, 2016 NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. PLANET HONDA IN LAKEWOOD COLORADO ORDERED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS ON 7/6/16 SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED FROM HONDA THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FINALLY RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE DEALER THAT PARTS WERE IN AND THE DEALER INSTALLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE BAG ON 9/17/16, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG HAD NOT ARRIVED, BUT STILL ON ORDER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THIS DELAY IS CAUSING GREAT INCONVENIENCE IN MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF LACK OF PASSENGER CAPACITY. I GET THE FEELING THAT HONDA IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY FASHION
