Your Honda Odyssey is subject to an active safety recall involving the airbag system, but multiple Honda dealerships in your area report they don't have the necessary parts available to complete the repair. You've been waiting over a year and a half to get this recall addressed. The repair will require replacement airbag system components that are currently backordered.

Your 2021 Honda Odyssey is subject to a safety recall (Campaign 24V064000) involving the airbag system. You contacted your dealer about the recall repair, but they told you that replacement parts are arriving sporadically and haven't been able to complete the work. You also checked with two other Honda dealerships, but neither has been able to diagnose or repair your vehicle yet. Until the recall parts become available and the repair is completed, your airbag system may not function as designed in a crash.

Your 2021 Honda Odyssey is subject to a safety recall (Campaign 24V064000) for the airbag system, but Honda has not yet made the repair parts available. You've been waiting longer than reasonable for the dealer to complete the recall work, and both the dealer and manufacturer have confirmed the parts are still unavailable. Getting the airbag system updated will require waiting for Honda to supply the necessary components and then scheduling service at a Honda dealership.

Took my odyssey to the local dealer a few months back for the recall and dealer told me they wouldn’t have the part until next year. Now this has caused an issue to where my whole airbag system is short circuiting and the dealership wants to fix all the other issues and not fix the open recall. Family safety is at risk.
