Takata recall, the airbag light on the passenger side suddenly illuminated without anything triggering it while I was driving to work. It shows that the passenger airbag is off due to having some kind of weight on the seat. But there is nothing on the seat at all when the light illuminated. It is still on and stayed on. I read about the recall for the takata airbags and I read the the airbag can explode during a crash and that defeats the purpose of having an airbag. It's supposed to save lives and not take them away. I would like to get this fixed and resolved before winter comes in full effect and to avoid additional problems if an accident do occur.
