Left out of the article are the model years and makes of the vehicles being recalled.
But otherwise, great journalism. “Something is happening at Honda that is Bad . . .”
How long have airbags been in cars? Nothing noticed until the last few years? Thought they were building a better mousetrap and the mousetrap and it caught up to them.
It’s not that hard to figure out what vehicles are impacted by this recall. Let’s break down the first two things someone would be reading when checking out this article.
1. The title indicates this is a “Re-Recall”
2. The first paragraph said “”Honda Motor Co. will recall more than a million vehicles in the U.S. to replace a batch of faulty air bag parts that were installed as part of the largest auto safety recall in history.”
The title and first paragraph make it pretty clear that this re-recall applies to every Honda that was originally recalled due to the faulty Takata airbags. So was your Honda part of the original Takata recall?
If yes = it’s being recalled again. If no = the re-recall doesn’t apply to your car because the original recall didn’t apply either.
I hope this explanation helps Craig understand to which vehicles this re-recall applies.
How about this: let’s emphasize brevity and clarity in writing and instead of your multiple paragraph attempt at deduction, just say it like this: “X models from year Y to year Z.”
After all, journalists are professional writers and should be expected to behave as such, instead of relying on the reader’s deductive ability and recall of whether the prior owner of their used Honda ever mentioned a recall before . . .
No need to get so testy Craig. I was simply explaining how you and other readers could easily figure out the information you indicated was missing from the article.
No need to be redundant, Rosenblatt. I already knew you were criticizing my original comment with another inane Roseblatt Special.

If you were a fair minded and honest person, here is what you would acknowledge: I don’t insult people until AFTER they insult me first. Go back and look at those comments and what preceeded them.
When someone disagrees with me respectfully, I follow suit.
You see? Civility requires two dance partners. Try it for once.

Craig, we call him the word parser/spinner in chief. He will have his leftist take on every single article written no matter what you say. Drones on paragraph after paragraph ad nauseum.

Word parsing is an important trait Agent. Your clients expect it of you!!! Remember our discussion over here https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southcentral/2019/03/12/520321.htm/?comments ?
