Default re: AIRBAG RECALL?

Although there hasn't been any mention of the 2001-2006 LS430s being affected by the latest massive airbag recall.......has anyone heard anything different?

You can look your vehicles up by VIN; nothing came back for my 2005 LS430

Yep so far no LS430s on the list. Hopefully the list won't grow. One daughter lives out in California and her 2005 Civic was on the list. She made appt with local Honda dealer to have it fixed. Supposedly the service writer told her that only non California civics were on the recall list so she would be first civic they worked on for this recall.

Hopefully they have all the parts needed to do the repair... It would be interesting to know what exactly needs to be replaced and how it is done. I'm not sure if many dealers are talented enough to do a major repair without screwing something up.
