Wasn't that what obviously happened? Holy crap! How did you miss that?

The letting us know of his error, i.e. his *apology* is what doesn't happen too often.

This whole thread really must be bothering you. You seem so confused by it all.

Holy crap! Did you even read my post?

Is it legal or ethical to apologize on Usenet? If not, I'm very sorry. My apologies, and won't happen again.

Did you even read my question about apologies on Usenet! Holy crap! Did you read my question!

If apologies are not legal or ethical, then I am so, so sorry about that and won't do it again until the next time.

I know it's been a year since the original question here was asked....and I have read through the comments but it turns out no one here was able to an swer a legitimate question asked by a poster.

I'm coming across this because I've been facing the exact same problem. I'v e been receiving the same recall letters about the Takata Airbags from Hond a weekly....and it's been TWO YEARS since I sold my Honda so yes, I've been receiving these notifications FOR TWO YEARS going on three. I'm getting re al tired of disposing/shredding them and I think my shredding machine agree s. Theses letters have been evolving too over time and come in all shapes a nd sizes. They've gone from regular #10 envelopes to the large FedEx shippi ng envelopes delivered at my doorstep. They've even emailed a notification to MY SISTER WHO LIVES IN ANOTHER STATE. Like what the hell?

So Derby, if you ever come across this, please I'd like to know if you were able to get a solution to this mailing issue.

Thanks.

(PS. the one comment about moving and not telling the post office cracked m e up hard but seriously....I would consider it.)

Dunno where you are, but here, there's a tear-off on the title that you send in to inform the DMV that you no longer own the vehicle. If you didn't do that and nobody else tried to register it, you're the documented owner. The car vendor can't do that. It's your responsibility.

After this long, it may not make any difference anyway.

It works a little bit differently here....but the DMV here doesn't associat e me with the vehicle anymore.

It's on record I was a previous owner (I have called and inquired) but of c ourse, they are bound by the law not to disclose to me the current owner bu t they did tell me the VIN was no longer registered to the state here by th eir records. Also, the tags I had on the Honda have been returned and the r egistration terminated. Another confirmation is if I was still on record wi th the DMV as the owner of this vehicle in my state, I would've been hunted down already for the non-renewal of the registration and a lapse in insura nce (Like I said it's been two years going on three).

The issue is with Honda. I'm not sure how their system works....but I've go ne the route of opening a case and all that like the previous poster. That did absolutely nothing.

I've no information on what Honda did/has done/is doing, but if it bugs you so much to actually really want to do something other than just continue to throw them away, I'd start by asking the local dealership service manager if he has way to get the info into the system.

Failing that, are they required to be first-class mail or are they just bulk mailings? If 1st-class, refuse delivery and write "No longer own subject vehicle" or such on the envelope; USPS has to return it to sender if is. If is just bulk mail this doesn't work, of course.

So, last resort, send registered mail with all the info and see if that would get a human's attention.

All in all, sounds like much more trouble than just ignoring them would be...

If your sister tells you to take your car in for airbags, you should do it. She's your big sister, she loves you, and you should mind her.

Send them an official-looking notarized letter saying you hereby release them from any and all liability provided they send you a check for $250 ;-)

Just contact the manufacturer (by registered letter if you like) stating you no longer own the vehicle and how it wasdisposed of (traded in or sold privately) with the name and address of the recipient of the vehicle,

I'm not sure if you read my original post or the overall post for which all these comments are being made but if you didn't, you should.

These notifications are about a Honda vehicle I had TWO-THREE YEARS AGO. I have an entirely different car now...and no. It's not a Honda either.

I did that already. Twice. Even opened a case with a case number. And I did these within the first year of receiving these notifications after the car was sold. They swore to me the changes have been made and that I wouldn't receive any more letters. Well...it's been a year and a half after that pro mise and sitting in front of me as we speak is a FedEx shipped letter of th e same notification received this week.

I think I was trying to respond to someone else that said "call them to cha nge the info they had on file" which I've done already and the posts got mi xed up...

But hey....lol. Even I can do what you suggested, get $250 AND end this bom bardment of unnecessary notifications, I'd be about that life!

I have the same problem, when I haven't owned the car in over 3 years now. I've phoned them, filled out their cards, and even the people who came to my door saying I shouldn't be bothered anymore after I keep explaining... but Honda still does bother me. As of now I just trash the letters. It's really all I can do. This company is as bad a social security when they came after me for 7 years of fake over-payment's with garnishments of my work paychecks saying "they didn't need proof or a court order to begin collecting". The only solution I've found to problems like this is try your best to keep your name out of the system... and vote for less government/socialism.

Same issue is happening to me. At first I tried to correct the system so that the rightful owner could get notified and have the problem repaired. Now I just throw the notices out and try hard not to let it bother me (although the visits to the front door were obnoxious).

What is really amusing is that the last know owner of the vehicle is Honda. I traded it in for my current Honda. SMH
