My front passenger air bag light comes on saying it isn't functioning - has happened since I bought the car in 2014, but I never noticed until warranty was over (only happens if someone sits in seat, which is not often). I do not see any recall -and wonder if thisis something I have to have fixed at my own cost as dealer said "too bad". No problems as of yet, but worried a passenger can be hurt badly.

"takata recall" my step father is 82 years old and often has someone with him in the car or has someone drive his car. This recall is quite old and we are not being given any information on when this air bag will be replaced. Since someones life is at risk I fail to understand how this can continue to be delayed.
