Takata recall my airbag light keeps on coming on for many years. The acura dealer does not know the issue and will not repair the airbags until there is a recall of the airbags. The light has come on probably once per year (I've owned the car for 7 years).

My airbag light came on for no reason - I had a mechanic reset it but it came back on few days later. I read on the internet that honda is recalling hondas & acuras for this type of problem , is this one of them ? Am I expecting a recall letter from honda in the mail soon ? Regards

I have 2005 rsx type s, and within past 2.5 years I had circuitry related to the airbags passenger and driver failed. At 64,000 miles passenger detection sensor in the seat failed and was replaced when SRS light came on, at 87,584 miles airbag control unit failed and airbag not functioning light came on. I would like to know if this is just my car happen to have bad airbag circuitry or it is an ongoing issue that acura does not want to address. I checked multiple boards of rsx owners like www.clubrsx.com and see many of them have similar problems.

Srs light on my 2003 acura rsx, car only has 80,000 miles. Dealer (st louis acura) says that it is not covered under the federal safety agency # because it is a different part. Although this part (SRS unit) works with the opds they say it is not covered. As of right now they do not wish to take any action on this and if I wish to not "die" to pay 1240 dollars and have them replace this part.
