Driver's airbag recall...pending?

I've found interesting documents about driver's air bag recalls on Honda cars (1st gen. Fit is not included):
https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/201...6V061-2594.pdf

What is the cause of the stop
sale/safety recall?

In certain vehicles, the driver’s (front) airbag inflator could
produce excessive internal pressure during airbag
deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the increased
internal pressure may cause the inflator casing to rupture.
Metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion
material, possibly causing injury or fatality to vehicle
occupants. At this time, we’re working to identify the root
cause, but we do know that exposure to high temperatures
and high humidity seems to be a contributing factor.
Have there been any ruptures of this
type of inflator in the market in
Honda or Acura vehicles?

Honda has not received any reports of Takata PSDI-5 inflator
ruptures in the market in Honda or Acura vehicles worldwide.
Which models are affected by the
stop sale/safety recall?

The recall includes specific VINs from these Honda models:
• 2007-2011 Honda CR-V
• 2007-2014 Honda Ridgeline
• 2009-2014 Honda Fit
• 2010-2014 Honda FCX Clarity
• 2010-2014 Honda Insight
• 2011-2015 Honda CR-Z

Don't tell me that our generation Fit don't have this problem.
I bet that the remedies will be:
A) drive the car using extenders and joy-sticks while sitting on the back seat



or using remote control with Russian made (vacuum tube type ) artificial intelligence machine

b) wear hockey goalkeeper mask with plastic shield



c) switch to economy classic car



and get real 27 mpg in city (Be sure to change oil every 3000 miles, adjust carburetor and idle CO every 12 months, and replace spark plugs, points and condenser as needed)

If I will be in charge of recall, I'll start with older year modes or or at least high mileage cars first because they are likely to develop problem (propellant change due to the moisture absorption)
