Reply to comment by coelurosauravus in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

My 2006 Honda Civic Si had this recall. Honda would literally send me letters once a month begging me to take it in...letters in Spanish, bribes of gift cards...it was quite impressive. They even followed me through like four changes of address.

Fuckin A I drive a 2008 Civic and this is the first I've heard of any of this shit. Although I don't recall ever receiving a letter from Honda so hopefully that's a good thing. Probably gonna look my car up just to be sure though.

I did get into an accident in a 2007 Civic and the airbags deployed, luckily no one's fucking neck was sliced open. Didn't think too much of it then, but fuck.

Take it to a Honda dealership and let them know you have an affected vehicle.

Because even if someone is a moron and refuses to bring their car back the media storm still makes Honda look bad.
