Can manufacture/dealer force car owner to comply with recall ?
Some Honda vehicles of model year 2001-2003 with Takata airbag have very high chance of airbags rupture in a crash. Can Honda forces owners of these vehicles take their vehicles to dealers to replace the defective airbags ? Honda has the power under the law to take Honda vehicles with defective airbags off the road ?
I think only Government, in this case state DMV has the power to forbid certain vehicle(s) on public road.
This is what a U.S. Senator said:

"These vehicles are deathtraps, and Takata and Honda have understated the risks for far too long," he said in a statement. "Merely telling people to come to dealers is not enough - they need to go out and find these vehicles and get them off the road."

One obstacle to ensuring that repairs are undertaken to the recalled vehicles is tracking owners: the vehicles can be as much as 16 years old and may have changed ownership several times since they were new.
