Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Acura Rl. The contact stated that the dealer repaired the vehicle per NHTSA campaign number: 16v061000 (air bags). The dealer was unable to confirm for months if the front passenger side air bag recall would be completed or if the VIN was excluded. The manufacturer was contacted concerning the front passenger side air bag recall and had not confirmed if the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v344000 (air bags). The contact had not experienced a failure.

When driving the message comes on that the passenger side airbag is off. The message appears constantly. I have called Acura in torrance CA. The message went away,but it is constantly appearing . They gave me a reference number b012014-06-2701911. They said that they will investigate my VIN # to see if there is a problem. In the meantime my passenger side airbag is inactive. The message is still on my computer screen. I am worried I am taking the car in to the dealer. I think that Acura is trying to play down the seriousness of this. Thank you.
The srs indicator comes on and stays on when a cell phone or laptop is used inside the vehicle. This hinders the proper operation of the air bags which could result in a needless death to the passenger. The light can only be reset by the dealer which cost $84. 00 per hour. After some investigation on the web, it appears that this is not only a problem in the Acura Rls but also a problem with all Acura vehicles (rl, tl, tl-s, rsx and the mdx). There should have been engineering considerations which would have shielded the opds sensors from everyday interferences from laptops and cell phones radio frequencies. Please give this matter some attention by contacting the Acura corporation and asking for an explanation of what action they intend to take to correct this engineering defect. As with most major corporations, the average consumer has no way of contacting them directly. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Side airbag indicator goes on and stays on intermittently. Happens almost always. Reported to dealer several times. Dealer can't find anything wrong. Believe side air bags are not functional when light is on. Started after dealer servicing about sept. , 2003 and continues to this day.
