HI, I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY PASSENGER'S AIRBAG. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR (I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER) REPLACE THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG. AT THE SAME TIME FOR ABOUT A MONTH I HAD BEEN HEARING A RUBBERY RUBBING SQUEAKY SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I ASKED THE MECHANIC WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HE SAID THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DRIVER'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG. THIS IS A TAKATA AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE IT REPLACED AT NO COST AS THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS AND THERE IS A RECALL ON TAKATA AIRBAGS. I DO NOT TRUST THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG AND IT IS MAKING A DISTURBING SOUND.
