1 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2019

On Monday, March 11, 2019, the "airbag warning" (red colored) light that depicts a deployed airbag in front of a driver (passenger?) in a front seat, appeared as I was driving (and not at the time I started my car's engine) on a paved road, normal road conditions, driving around 40 mph; I was not braking or making sharp turns. My Honda manual states that this symbol means that either the airbag(s) or the seatbelt mechanism is not working properly. With respect to the airbag, it states that upon a car accident, the air bag may not properly work; and therefore, I should have my airbag(s) inspected by a Honda dealer as soon as possible. I also have side airbags in my car. My seatbelt seems to be working fine, so I'm not sure if/how this warning could apply to my seatbelt. I had the driver's side airbag replaced I believe in 2016 or 2017; my paperwork is in storage, however upon your request, I will locate the information. I heard and read today about the takata bag recall on about 1. 2 million Honda cars from around 2002 to 2016. I entered my VIN number into your system and it does not indicate another recall on the airbag I already had replaced; I seem to remember that the replaced airbag I received around 2017 was not a takata, was another brand. Perhaps this warning light is about the passenger's airbag? nevertheless, this airbag and seatbelt warning light does concern me. Thank you in advance for your help.

Called America Honda on 11/12/14. Asked if there was a recall on airbag and seat belt problem. Warning light has been on for several weeks.
