The "airbag malfunction" light keeps coming on and off warning that there's something wrong with the airbags or the system itself. It's actually for something they have recalls for but my VIN number doesn't show up for the recall. It says "SRS airbag system malfunction".

The Airbag recall on select Toyota Camry. The manufacturer of the airbags in Japan are said to be defective. I have not received new sensors that are on back order. Seatbelt sensors continue to go off, unless they are clicked in all seats. I already had the car fixed twice, they won’t lean to fix the car again. It’s all political financially. The onboard Safety SOS may also be defective in these models.
