Air bag light came on and when I ran my "VIN" number on your website, I found out there was a recall for this. Next I took my cr-v into norm reeves honda in irvine, ca. On 12/9/2019 for my 10:30 am appointment. After the passenger side airbag iinflator recall problem was resolved, I picked my cr-v up and went home. My cr-v had (115,230) miles on it at that point. My next air bag problem occurred on 8/18/2020 when my cr-v had (116,359) miles on it. Now I had the "side air bag off" light come on. It would come on and then go away and then come back on again eventually. At that point, I called up norm reeves honda in irvine again to schedule an appointment to have this checked out. On 8/25/2020 at (116,418) miles, I dropped off my cr-v for my 10:30 am appointment. I had an inkling that this new air bag light coming on might have had something to do with the original air bag recall that was taken care of. After the car had been checked out, I was told that all the "dtc's" were pulled and that the "side air bag off light" had nothing to do with the original air bag recall they took care of. On my way home, I noticed a new light had come on now, the (SRS) light. It was then that I immediately turned around and went back to norm reeves to inform them of this.the service advisor told me that they had nothing to do with this light coming on and that sooner or later it would have come on, somewhere down the road in the future. I questioned this and frankly had a difficult time believing this! That "SRS" light had never come on before since I've owned the car. Now that light is always on 100% of the time. The service advisor told me it's a computer related issue that's causing the problem and quoted me a price of approx. $1200 to get it repaired. I said to him, "are you serious?" and shook my head in disgust as I walked away. I think they pulled one over on me. Do you agree?

Had the recalls done and now the SRS light will not go out. Have tried the reset and hooked up my code reader - code reader has no indication of a problem. Reset did not work. Concerned about safety and also do not want to take it to a dealer for a $100+ diagnostic if it is honda's fault. Seems a lot of owners are having this problem. Car starts and runs fine but the SRS light remains on. Is there a warrentee with the safety systems.

I had the honda airbag recall done on 8/3/2015. While driving the car on 8/6/2015, the SRS system off indicator light came on and then went off. This light was not a problem before the recall was done but now has us wondering what is the status of our restraint system.
