I saw the today show segment on airbags and decided to check my new used car purchased recently. I see there are 3 recalls- lighting (headlights), fuel, and something related to airbags though different than the tekada brand. I bought this car for my newly licensed 18 year old. Please help me make sure this car is safe! She does tell me the headlights are very dim and she drives w her high beams?
