TAKATA RECALL: I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON, BUT WITHOUT ANY HISTORY OF AN ACCIDENT. THE WEIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH NOTIFIES YOU OF SOMEONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CHANGES FROM ON TO OFF JUST FINE. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON FOR THE LENGTH OF MY OWNERSHIP. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG AND MY SPECIFIC MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LIST OF VEHICLES, BUT IN TRUTH THAT IS THE MAIN ISSUE. I HAS HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AN THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTOR INCLUDING A FUSE SHORTAGE OR FAULTY DOME LIGHT.
