MY HONDA CRV IS WITHIN THE YEAR RANGE FOR A RECALL OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA......AT ALL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND CAME TO YOUR WEBSITE TO FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE IS DEFINITELY ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG APPARATUS. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT IS.....SO I AM WONDERING WHY NO RECALL NOTICE HAS COME TO ME? WHAT AM I TO DO? THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF THIS FAULTY PART SEEM DEVASTATING FROM WHAT I AM READING.....PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS MY BEST COURSE OF ACTION.
