“I received a recall notice in march 2020 for my 2000 odyssey. I have received no further notices. I called a honda dealer and the manufacturer today and both told me they do not have replacement parts and have no timeline for when these replacement parts will be available. I am concerned about safety as this vehicle is 2o years old and is high mileage.”Owner report · Air Bags · Sep 2020

“I received a notice from honda in march that my 2000 odyssey needed driver side airbag replacement. I was notified that the issue could potentially lead to a fatality. I was also notified that no parts are available. Six months later, we still don't have any information about the progress of the new airbag part, and I'm having trouble believing that honda is making this a priority.”Owner report · Air Bags · Sep 2020
