I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT APRIL 24 2017 I CAME IN AT 815AM THEY SAID THEY COMPLETED THE 2 AIR BAG RECALLS AT 1PM MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED UP MY VIN TO SEARCH TO SEE IF MY RECALLS WERE GONE AND EVERY WEBSITE I TYPED MY VIN IN STILL SAYS MY RECALLS ARE DUE? I RECHECK TODAY APRIL 26TH AND IT STILL SAYS I HAVE OPEN RECALLS WHY HASN'T IT UPDATED IF ON THE WEBSITE IT SAYS IT'S UPDATED BUT HONDA DEALER REPAIRED IT 2 DAYS AGO ?

MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON SO I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM POHANKA HONDA. THIS OCCURRED BEFORE THE SRS RECALL WAS ISSUED. HONDA SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY SRS UNIT ALONG WITH MY GAUGE CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. HONDA WAS GOING TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR & LABOR FOR $1,200. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY BUT WAS CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY SO I ORDERED THE PARTS AND GOT IT REPAIRED OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP. HERE'S THE ISSUE, I WAS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR PARTS ($500) BUT HONDA MANUFACTURE ONLY WILLING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR JUST THE SRS UNIT ($200) AND NOT THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ($300). I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO COVER THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE SINCE THE CODE THAT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE HONDA TECHNICIAN REVEALED THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. SINCE I FOLLOWED GUIDANCE BY POHANKA HONDA, I'M WITHOUT $300 BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE SRS UNIT. IF POHANKA HONDA WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE REPAIR FOR $1,200, HONDA MANUFACTURE WOULD HAVE REIMBURSED ME FOR $1,200. I BELIEVE I'M BEING PENALIZED BECAUSE THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO TO HONDA MOTORS AMERICA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SINCE THIS IS A "SAFETY" ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED YET.

DRIVER SIDE WIRE HARNESS PROBLEM 2. DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SENSOR.
