“I TOOK MY CRV IN FOR SERVICE AT SILKO HONDA IN RAYNHAM, MA. THEY DIAGNOSED A SHORT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THAT AIRBAG WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PART IS ONLY 1 YEAR. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY SENSITIVE ISSUE AS PART OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH ITS AIRBAGS.”
