Just back from Rosebery Honda dealer And confirm my postol address. They have confirmed my 2006 lux is within range of recall but still need time to confirm which one was affected ! Right now I would just drive my wrx . Maybe I shd wear a helmet when driving the euro for repair.
Maybe set of safety glasses or be cool wear black sunglasses like the blues brothers at night
If you see a good Technical post giving advice give some postive rep
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.
faaaa, mines probably affected i rekcon. geez an 04 model to do recall after all this time.
Anyone have an idea or heard how long this airbag replacement takes? Fred? you normally know the answers to this stuff. lol.
Id hate to leave me car there for a day. have to explain to them what not to touch and ruin. hahaha
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)

Yep, did a call today, and to my shock my VIN didnt come up in red with a RECALL next to it. =D
But that being said i asked anyway just incase, the guy said it would only take 20-30 mins to do, so just like you mentioned. =)
Are you sure? mine is 203738 and when i called my dealer with it, they claim that I am no affected (also 06 Euro Lux)
EDIT: just called Honda Aus head office and they have also confirmed that mine isn't yet recalled but they are awaiting Honda Japan for any more being affected
UPDATE: emailed yesterday night and got a reply from head office saying that my car is now included..... called my dealer and they have put my name on the list to be notified when parts arrive from backorder... They better not forget....
