    Lot's of y'all drive Honda's, so check this out if you haven't heard. I found the story on my Comcast homepage...

    Honda recalls 440,000 cars for airbag risk.

    No gloating or bashing of Honda on my part. Just sayin....

    :eek:


    I don't own a Honda, but good job on the heads up. I know a lot of second hand owners don't always get the recall notices.

    If an airbag went off in a Fit it would flip over. ;)

    That was what I was thinking too. I still get recall notifications on the Dodge Durango that we sold two years ago, so I wonder if the new owner gets them. Probably not. :(

    I think it depends on whom it was bought from.
    If it was a certified car/truck bought from a dealer, Dodge in your case, more than likely you will. Bought from a privet party, most likely not.

    You may even want to check on the manufactures website. Some brands will have a section where you can register your information and VIN. You can also have a local dealer run the VIN for any open recalls or bulletins.

    It just proves that no car brand is immune from recalls!

    This headline is like reading a "Virus destroys thousands of Mac's" headline. Your first response is "no way".
