Takata Air Bags Critical Warning — Aug. 2016

RECALL: Takata Air Bags, Critical Warning

Critical Warning Regarding Certain 2001-2003 Honda and Acura Vehicles with Takata Air Bags

NHTSA urges consumers to not drive these vehicles unless they are going straight to a dealer to have them repaired immediately:

  • 2001-2002 Honda Civic
  • 2001-2002 Honda Accord
  • 2002-2003 Acura TL
  • 2002 Honda CR-V
  • 2002 Honda Odyssey
  • 2003 Acura CL
  • 2003 Honda Pilot

New test data on the defective Takata air bag inflators in these vehicles show a far higher risk of ruptures during air bag deployment than for other recalled Takata air bags. 

If you own one of these vehicles, search the Recalls Lookup using your vehicle identification number (VIN) at https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ to confirm that the vehicle has an unaddressed recall and needs a repair. If it does, immediately call your dealer to schedule a free repair. Replacement parts for these vehicles are available.

Hurricane Awareness — Sarasota County Emergency Services

by

With the possibility that current Tropical Storm Erika or any future storm may make landfall over the state of Florida, La Casa residents should be aware of impending weather and take action to reduce damage and protect themselves.

There are a wide range of sites that discuss how to prepare for tropical weather. Here is a quick summary:

  • Remove or secure all loose objects outside your home. Secure storm shutters if you have them.
  • Have water, batteries for flashlights, and an emergency radio that operates on batteries. A general recommendation is one gallon of water per person per day, for at least three days.
  • Have adequate medications to last at least one week past the end of the storm.
  • Turn off any unneeded electrical devices. Move any items that could be damaged by flooding to higher areas.
  • Know where your nearest evacuation shelter is in advance. If you are told to evacuate your home, do so. Emergency services will not respond when wind speeds exceed their established limits.

If no one is present in the La Casa office, and you have questions about the impending storm or Sarasota County services, the contact number is 941-861-5000.
