The airbag light often turns red, indicating that airbags are not likely to be deployed if needed. This happens usually when the steering is turned in a certain way when I take left or right turn (more likely during the left turn). No accidents. I took it to the dealership for repair. The dealership says this is an issue with a faulty part (clockspring) but there is no certainty. Even the cost of a clockspring replacement is about $500. I suspect this has something to do with 2011 Honda CRV airbag light issues. However, Honda never recognized this significant safety-related issue in 2012 CRVs.

What owners say
First off when driving the vehicle the side air bag light comes on then goes off. This is random it does not do it all the time but I have noticed it more when I turn a curve it seems to do it more. The other issue is the left blinker goes back and forth from blinking fast like there is a bad bulb to blinking normal this happens every time I drive it. I've check the bulbs and even replaced them thinking maybe im just not seeing a bad bulb and it still doing it. Im not to concerned with the blinker problem but I am with the air bags light. The two maybe related im not sure. I do know both could be dangerous.
Air bag light stays on and head light frequent replacemeny
Internal failure of passenger side weight sensor causing airbag light to be on in honda cr-v. Dealer has stated without $1600 of repair to weight sensor/seat frame, none of the car's airbags would be operational in the event I am in an accident. Vehicle has less that 50,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident, not even a bump.
I have a 2012 honda crv - VIN: [xxx], with just a few miles over 40,000 my airbag light has been on for several days. Today, I took it to have the diagnostic ran on it. The following error codes came up: 71-21: "short in the passengers front airbag off switch" 43-22: "no signal from the left side impact sensor (first)" b2-11: "no signal from the rear safing sensor" although, there doesn't appear to be any recalls, in this particular model of my honda crv, there obviously are issues with the airbag system. What steps do I need to take to resolve this matter? I have not received any kind of recalls, nor have I been able to find results, when searching for recalls. Please advise at your earliest convenience. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My air bag light is on. Unsure what it means, but after doing some research, it appears I may have a malfunction? I do not see any recalls for the 2012 honda crv though. Should I report this to my dealer and/or are there any recalls, that I am not aware of?
