10 years to find out about a recall....that's pretty poor. I wonder how they found out.

The whole situation stinks of a cover up by Takata.
Having said that, the nature of the problem is something that develops over time due to moisture ingress so it wouldn't be immediately obvious in lab testing.
It's not a replacement of the airbag itself, it's the inflator canister.
Time will really depend on the model of car and how easy it is to access the inflator.
At work I can do a corolla in 20 mins, which involves removing the whole dash.
Contact your local dealer (if your VIN is within the range) and they should be able to give you a specific time allocation under their warranty procedures.
And if anybody has aftermarket ecu's, generally the battery will be disconnected because any form of voltage whilst dealing with the SRS system is touch and go. (Not sure if this affects the memory of the tune, just a heads up)
Just checked the recall website and it includes all CL9s and early CU2s as well now...
Scary stuff. Both my CRVs are affected as well as my old CL9.

Got mine done this week. Took about 3 hours. They did a 10 pt check too. But no wash :(
The VIN on my 2008 CL9 is _________________
When I checked the letter 2008 YM Model From JHMCL9 6808C 200002 to JHMCL9 6908C 212612. Does that mean mine is not recalled?
