I am surprised to see that there are cars manufactured between (2003-2008) almost more than 15 years. Why did it take so long for Honda to recall these cars for a manufacturing fault?

I do not know how these "Recall" works but still in this case it is a pretty long time as per the safety point of view.

I am surprised that this is not over as yet. Honda had issued multiple recalls for the issue since last 4 years now and they are still not done yet. Yesterday only I saw a recall ad by Toyota in local newspapers for the same Takata inflator issue.

Hey, is it still continuing? We had our Civic recalled in 2015 and airbags replaced. You can read about it here (Honda Civic : Maintenance, Service Costs and Must dos), also see some pictures!

My car's passenger side airbag was replaced recently during car servicing.

My 2007 accord was recalled and changes implemented about a year ago. I guess this was the reason.
