Takata recall- I had the 1st recall repaired on my honda a few years ago but in the past 2 months the SRS light and side airbag light were both on and my passenger side airbag was partially inflated under the dash. I took it to a honda dealership and was told that these lights are on due to a faulty seat belt buckle. They informed me that they were able to get the lights to go off....for now, but that the lights would probably come back on after driving it a while. About a week after, the SRS light and side airbag light are back on again.

Takata recall- I purchased a used 2002 honda accord today, 7/31/2019. When I entered the vehicle and started the car, I noticed the SRS light on the dash was illuminated. When the car is stationary or in motion the passenger side airbag looks to be partially inflated under the dash. The airbag is not deployed but it does seem like over time it has inflated under the dash. Currently there are 6 recalls related to airbag modules in the year, make, and model of my vehicle, yet for some reason this website says my VIN# is not included. Please address this airbag issue on my vehicle, if I were to ever wreck, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt because of a faulty recalled airbag module that was just skipped over.
