When the recall was first publicised, I checked the VIN of both my cars and they were showing as clear on the Honda UK recall VIN checker. There were no details on the Honda IRL website. The only place with affected VINs was the DVSA recalls on the government website. (It was probably on the pan-European product recalls website, but I didn't check at the time.)
Then on checking back a month or two later, I did see a page on the Irish website, listing affected VINs. UK recall VIN checker was still clear.
Mid-November, I had another peek and saw that the Irish page had disappeared again and the UK recall VIN checker was finally updated to reflect the outstanding recall on the both vehicles. Being lazy, and not unduly panicked, I thought I'd wait and see how long it would take Honda to cross-check the National Vehicle File and drop me a letter...
Well I got my first letter from Universal Honda Ltd (Ireland) on 27 Nov 2015, but that was for the car that is current off the road. Then on the 3 Dec 2015, I got the letter for the one I was using:

I was down in the direction of a dealer last Tuesday to order some parts and book it in for the recall work. They said it would be 5 days to get both inflators in and they were keen to get it booked in that day rather than set a date after the parts had arrived. So it was booked in for today (17th).
Don't know what I'm going to do for approximately three hours. Best I take a book as there isn't much to do in the town.
