1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2017

I was scanning my vehicle with an obd2 scanner and learned that my car, which I'm not the original owner, has had recalls and I don't know if they've been rectified. Attached are screenshots of the recall information. The first one has me more worried than the other. . . . Inadvertent deployment of airbags. Please read the details. The second (front struts) is something that also concerns me because of its lack of shock absortion. My VIN# 1nxba02e6vz610687 (also on the screenshots) if you have any information on the history of my vehicle and whether or not these issues have been resolved, please share it with me.

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2014

Toyota Corolla dx 1997 the car was sold by the manufacturer in st louis missouri while I was in law school. The car has been now in florida for the last ten year in a warm, extremely humid climate. The manufacturer has admitted to a problem with the airbags. Apparently in humid climates. Now does it not make sense to check out the airbag if the car has been in a humid climate . Regardless where the car was sold ? or is the car safe because it was sold somewhere else and if the car is then driven in a humid climate the airbag will work since the dealership was in a cold weather climate?.
