Really, this question doesn't deserve an answer but I will say that if you were injured because of you lack of not getting this replaced, you would be posting a question as to "how can I sue the vehicle manufacture"..

Ok, so if Honda is paying for the rental, the op should be fine and just get it done. It solves the "being without a car" issue.

When your air bag kills you, I'll be sure to nominate you for the Darwin Award you'd so rightly deserve.

What I can't figure out, since this is a recall, why you care so much that the dealer might "make" money on it. So what.


If they try to have you do other service while it's there just say no thanks (unless it's something it needs anyway like an oil change).

I'm pretty sure I've made it clear that I'm not worried, per se, about the dealer making money. Dealers are going to make money. That's a given. I was curious as to the aggressive nature of their communication efforts regarding this particular recall. Please see my earlier post.

I'm pretty sure people answers that question, multiple times. They are aggressive because a recall on an air bag is a big safety concern.

If their calls bother you that much, next time tell them to stop calling.

Is your car a lease by any chance?

I never said the calls bother me. I was just curious why the dealer was so aggressive in contacting me about this recall.

The car is not a lease. And as posted previously, I made an appointment with the dealer to get this fixed tomorrow.

I think the OP should ask a different question - like why do Honda and the dealer care more about the health and safety of his family than he does?

In the past month and half they have called me at least a dozen times, and sent me multiple emails.

I'm curious why. I've never had a dealership be this aggressive in getting me into get a recall item fixed. Is it because they'll make more money on this kind of fix?
It must be a local thing with that dealership. I got the passenger-side bag recall notice in the mail like 6 months ago, and haven't heard from them since.
