Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Airbag light popped on after driving in a small water pocket.. Light remain on.
Takata inflators: there are currently four recalls for honda accord 2012 for passenger inflators but for my VIN there are none. My vehicle which only has 39k miles failed inspection for my SRS light. Regardless of the millions of airbag recalls honda has done they refused to scan my car for the SRS code unless I paid them for it. I went to autozone and had the scan done for free and got SRS code 32-10 "open or increased resistance in the right side airbag inflator". I cannot drive my vehicle now because of this and cannot afford to pay the 1400 plus dollars to have these items that shouldn't be defective in the first place repaired. Now I have to wait until my vehicle is added to the recall list.

Takata recall - the curtain airbag light randomly comes up on the dashboard. Which means the airbag gets deactivated frequently while driving with no reason. Also my right front wheel bearing had to be repalced due to huge noise, and front right suspension is leaking and not taking shocks.
Yesterday my airbag light came on. I checked the recall list for my vehicle and there is no recalls for my car on.

On 8/03/2015 I was rear ended by another SUV that failed to stop while I was waiting behind a red light. The impact of the accident was severe enough to force my car to hit the other car in front of me and consequently I was taken but the ambulance to the local hospital for further physical examination. I am writing you this because after my release from the hospital I noticed due to the high speed impact the air bag light in my car had been turned on yet the air bag itself never deployed. Therefore I would like to make an official complaint and inquiry about the honda auto company. I believe I might have skipped very serious physical injuries perhaps by luck yet the fact that the airbag of my honda never deployed is rey disturbing to me. I would appreciate your help in this matter.
Recently my air bag indicator started coming on and staying on at random intervals in my 2012 honda accord. Today (may 11, 2015) I took the vehicle to the dealership for an oil change and had them check the matter. The customer service representative said the "air bag switch is failing" and recommended that it be replaced. The cost of replacement is $205.00 plus tax. Prior to going to the dealership, I researched the matter to determine if there was a recall related to the air bags, and I found that there was a recall. I made the customer service representative aware of this. The customer service representative said the recall would not apply to my situation because my problem is related to the "air bag switch." it would seem that because this is an interrelated and integrated system, the recall would apply. If the "switch" is not working properly, this could be the reason the air bags do not deploy properly. I never received a notice about a recall. I purchased the car in october 2011, but the car is a 2012 accord. The three-year warranty has expired, but the vehicle only has 32,852 miles as of today's service. Is this "failing switch" covered by the recall? Should I have received a notification about the air bag recall? Do I have any recourse?
