My airbag light is on. I took my pilot in for the recall and assumed that would fix the problem. After i picked up my vehicle i noticed that the airbag light is still on. The mechanics failed to notify me of the problem and said this is not related to the recall. This makes no sense to me since my vehicle has never been in an accident.
