MY CAR NEEDS THE NHTSA RECALL 20V-026, DRIVERS AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. AS OF TODAY, MARCH 23, 2020, PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DEFECT. THE RECALL NOTICE FROM ACURA STATES "THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD ALSO RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, WITH METAL FRAGMENTS POSSIBLY STRIKING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THIS POSSIBILITY. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS (CASE # 10324034) AND REQUESTED ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION TO BE PROVIDED AT ACURA'S EXPENSE UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY REQUEST WAS REFUSED. I AM ASKING NHTSA TO INTERVENE AND ESCALATE MY REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION.

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL FOR THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT ON THIS WEBSITE. I CALLED ACURA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM CANNOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE ALL PARTS ARE DISCONTINUED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE NOW THE SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT IS ON WHICH MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS OFFLINE AND WILL NOT ENGAGE IF THERE IS A FRONT END COLLISION. HOW DO I GET THIS RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM AND I'M CONCERNED THAT I OR POSSIBLY A PASSENGER IN MY CAR MAY SUSTAIN UNNECESSARY INJURIES IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT ENGAGE IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
