Airbag Recall
#12
Dont know. Same could be said for the side curtain ones. Im all for just taking airbags out of cars and putting 5 point harnesses in them. A lot safer in my opinion. If those airbag do come into question, no doubt Honda will be the first to do anything about them. They've been recalling airbags since 2008, way before any of the media hype.

I agree with side airbags, as they prevent head injuries, but only from a side impact. Front airbags on the other hand are a complete waste, IF you are wearing your sealtbelt and seated properly.

I know side airbags will save you from hitting your head in a crash and a 5 point wont. I just hate airbags. Id rather have the harness than all those bombs next to my head.
Youll probably be waiting a month or more on a replacement inflator. Im not worried about mine (hope it's not affected but dont know yet) until I get a letter in the mail.

even belted, the seat belt stretches and the seat frame flexes. w/o the airbag, you'd be missing teeth at best; at worst you'd have a serious head/neck injury. depending on how fast you're traveling at the time of the collision, you could experience in excess of 100 gs of acceleration. anything which slows the rate of energy transfer to your body (crumple zones, airbags) improves your chance of survival.
the other 200 million of us would rather not have a closed head injury, TYVM.

Airbags do more damage than good. Ive been on multiple crash scenes where the airbags have broken arms, hands, and faceial bones. and not from being propelled into the bag from the impact but from the force of the bag deploying into someones arm that is across the wheel or holding onto the top middle of the wheel during impact.
