“Takata recalls? When I start my car, I keep getting a message passenger restraint malfunction involving seat belt, air bag, etc. If I don't connect my seat belt on the passenger side when no one is in it, the bell keeps ringing.my car is not on the list of recalls for this. Why isn't my car on the recall list?”

NHTSA complaint #11002696, filed 2017-07

“Takata airbag problems on the passenger side of the vechicle. When I bought this car from the third party dealership, 'chase autoplex' he resetted the settings everything was working properly, but after getting home, the next day my car showed airbag problems. When I called him, he said he can't help me out with it. So my question is that, if you guys can help me get a recall on this airbag, so I don't have to spent money on it myself, I will appreciate it. Thanks”
