RECALL ALERT
Airbags
If you are an owner of a 2001 to 2003 Honda or Acura , you are at a greater risk of suffering injuries caused by defective airbag inflators by a 50 percent chance of rupture upon deployment . Santa Ana College is working with organizers to inform students and staff about this issue by using social media and placing flyers around campus , while also sending it out electronically to key faculty . “ We could look at VIN numbers of some of the Hondas that they ’ re looking at so that way we can just inform our students and inform our staff members about the importance of taking their vehicles to the dealer so that this problem can be fixed ,” Assistant Dean of Student Services Teresa Mercado-Cota said . By 2019 , nearly 70 million Takata airbag inflators in approximately 42 million vehicles will be under recall , according to airbagrecall . com . The recall includes vehicles made by 19 different automakers but Acuras and Hondas pose the most urgent threat . You can call the Honda Recall Line at ( 844 ) 758-9245 to schedule a quick and free repair .

By contrast , the state of California reported 20,097 Dream Act applications this year , down from 34,162 last year . The drop in the number of applicants across the state may be linked to a heightened fear of deportation under the Trump administration .
