Got a paper in the mail, about the airbag recall, says Takata is filling bankruptcy, also says if your vehicle is under recall to contact your nearest dealership to schedule free repair. Anyone else get this? My understanding was they were not going to do anything about it?

When I looked at the website it told me to take it to one of the local dealerships, I’m going to call the dealership tomorrow.

Maybe we can squeeze the cracked dash in the mix?

Maybe just pull the airbag fuse and say "eff it" 
don't want that thing blowing up in my face anyway.

I'm sure some new issue will arise with them as time goes on and they age.

If you got into the 15+ subforum you'd think they were garbage already by all the complaining that you read

So true.
The 2015 section of this forum is like a nursery. All the crying......
So what I getting is there is still no remedy, “the parts are not available”, they really f’d us on this, I don’t know all the in’s and out’s but sounds like a money thing to me, a way to mess with the used car game, maybe to force people to buy newer, idk, i do remember reading the info about out of 44,000 deployments in these specific vehicles there was no death or injuries, mainly the manufactures just covering their ass since people actually got hurt or worse in the 00-02 civics.

Got the same card the other day and had checked my VIN a few months back regarding this recall.
This article is pretty interesting and has a time line by year and date of reports about the Takata company and cars affected.

Here is the NHSTA site to check the vehicle by year and model.

And enter your VIN here for any recalls of your specific vehicle.

Got 2 of those a while back ('07 Burb and '09 Tahoe), still haven't contacted the dealer because it seemed like a "hurry up and wait" situation.
I'd be more interested in a recall to fix the dash. Those damned cracks get on my nerves!

Needless to say, I did know this info when I bought them both, so It was my choice, like I said before there has been no injuries or deaths in these specific vehicles so I feel ok about it, also it says they will be more prone to failure in hot & humid climates so Im definitely not in the worst zone. Also when I was researching it before purchase of both, they said that in the future they may end up recalling 09+ which is why a lot of you guys got the same letter. My plan is to sit on it for a while, see if they fix them or not and if not I will send them both on their way.@kwOH
Sorry to see that man.Good info for everybody though to see 2 different models and years and how the results come up after the VIN search.

I still love my 2016 Hoe..Just got back from a NYC run from Miami and have zero complaints..I always look forward to long trips in my Hoe.
They have a 15 in my area with around 40k miles on it for $34k. Thought about getting it and maybe trying to find a nice OBS too..........not anytime soon..... just thoughts.

Do not even look at a early 2015..They had some issues like any first year model change..It would have be a 2015 and a half or higher.
I would get ALL service records IMHO..I do that with any vehicle before I even think of buying it..I am amazed how many people neglect simple things like oil changes.
