THREE DAYS AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWED UP ON MY CAR'S DASHBOARD, ALTHOUGH IT WENT OFF AFTER SWITCHING THE IGNITION OFF WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION. IT SHOULD UP AGAIN THE EVENING OF THE NEXT DAY. THIS CONCERN ME . HAS THERE BEEN A POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT ON THE RECALL OF AIRBAGS ON MY CAR.

RECENTLY MY AIR BAG INDICATOR STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON AT RANDOM INTERVALS IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD. TODAY (MAY 11, 2015) I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE MATTER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE "AIR BAG SWITCH IS FAILING" AND RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE REPLACED. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $205.00 PLUS TAX. PRIOR TO GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP, I RESEARCHED THE MATTER TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS, AND I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I MADE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AWARE OF THIS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE RECALL WOULD NOT APPLY TO MY SITUATION BECAUSE MY PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE "AIR BAG SWITCH." IT WOULD SEEM THAT BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTERRELATED AND INTEGRATED SYSTEM, THE RECALL WOULD APPLY. IF THE "SWITCH" IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THIS COULD BE THE REASON THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2011, BUT THE CAR IS A 2012 ACCORD. THE THREE-YEAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 32,852 MILES AS OF TODAY'S SERVICE. IS THIS "FAILING SWITCH" COVERED BY THE RECALL? SHOULD I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL? DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?
