Takata recall. The contact owns a 2002 Honda Element. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v344000 (air bags). The dealer scheduled an appointment and then provided no explanation as to when the parts would become available. The contact was unable to determine when the parts would be supplied to the dealer from the manufacturer to receive the repair. In addition, the air bag warning light remained illuminated while waiting for the dealer to supply an appointment for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.
Airbag warning lights will come on for no reason saying passenger airbag is off and it is not off. This happens at least once a week. This happens at various times, cranking vehicle, driving vehicle, there is really no specific situation . It's sporadic. Headlights have always been dim. Sometimes I can't even tell if they are on. The cargo lights, front middle and back work sometimes and most times they don't. Also brake lights seem to have a mind of there own and work when they want to but definitely not when I want them to. In fact I am pretty sure there is an electrical shortage somewhere.

Air bag warning light turned on.
The srs warning light came on. About 3 weeks later Honda issued a partial recall on 2003 Element airbags. I called Honda and was told my vehicle was not covered. In looking into the recall I see that it is for vehicles in hotter climates. I think it should be extended to all climates.
2004 Honda Element. Consumer states the air bag warning light illuminated. When the consumer arrived at the dealership to have a recall performed on the ignition, he was informed by the dealer that they would not accept responsibility for passive restraint systems unless it met the implied warranty prerequisites. The consumer stated he had to pay for a problem in the past, that incorrectly reported a problem that did not exist. The consumer is now wondering will he have to pay for the air bag light problem.
