Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The passengers airbag light keeps on turning on and off
Air bag indicator light is always on. Went to the Honda dealer (Auto NAtion Honda, Tucson) and was informed that there is a recall but the part was not available. So come back after the part. Came back today, and there was a new person, and was informed it wont be covered under the warranty, and needs to replace the driver's side seat belt wire harness and had to pay $235. There is a Safety Recall: Driver's Seat Position Sensor Harness Replacement service bulletin 07-002 for this wire harness but was informed does not cover my vehicle. I think this is the same issue, but why does not cover my vehicle? This is clearly Honda's fault.
It says there is a problem with the airbag, but the mechanics are saying that there is nothing wrong with the airbag system, but they can not get the airbag light to go off.
Dealership failed to properly install airbag inflator after I recieved a recall notice. Then proceeded to tell me the SRS code that was showing up on my car after installation was there before service and everything was properly installed on their end.
Airbag light stays on. Its been 2 months now. I fear for mine and my child's life when seeing it. Apparently a lot of people have made complaints about this but I can't find any specific recalls for it. How do I go about this?
Air bag light is currently on. Light stays on, on the dashboard of vehicle
"takata recall" I have had an air bag light on for years and they have never been deployed. Every time I check for a recall and mine has never had one, then why has my airbag light stay on?
The driver's side air bag light stays on. The dealer wants to charge a ridiculous amount of money to "search every wire associated" with the air bag system. This was a problem with 2005's manufactured 7/20/2004-10/8/2004 and they were recalled. Apparently, the problem was never fixed and multiple vehicle owners have reported this. Why has the recall not been extended to all 2005's? I fear for my safety every time I drive. I can't afford the repair nor can I just go buy a new car!
The air bag warning light is coming on and we feel it is defective or related to the recall.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that there was no failure experienced with the air bags until the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall regarding the air bags. First team honda (3444 western branch blvd, chesapeake, va 23321, (757) 337-6597) performed the recall repair and the dealer was notified that, shortly after the repair, the air bag indicator kept flashing. The dealer indicated that the indicator would turn off, but the failure continued. The contact felt that the recall remedy caused a failure that was not experienced prior to the repair. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed again. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available.
The SRS indicator light comes on when the engine is started and remains on until the engine is turned off. As long as the engine is running the light remains on whether the vehicle is stationary, or being driven.

Recall number 14V353000 · Recall details
Air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactive
- What is wrong
- On certain vehicles, the seat position sensor (sps) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the air bag inflation pressure accordingly. The wiring harness for the sps was attached to the seat frame in the wrong location and may have been over tightened. The sensor wire may break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated, and the sps to fail.
- Risk
- A failure of the sps causes the air bag system to default to full inflation pressure, regardless of the seat position. Full deployment of the driver's air bag can increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring subharness. The recall will begin on or about february 8, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

- Remedy
- Dealers will install a protective fabric flap between the air bag module cover and the inner module. The recall began on november 30, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
