Received a takata inflator recall on my front passenger airbag which was fixed by the dealership. My air bag light started to come on (while vehicle is parked or in motion) after the repair. This has been ongoing for several months. A diagnostic test is reading error code 92-20 where the front passenger side airbag will go off during an accident whether or not a passenger is in the vehicle.

Driver in 4th gear driving on a street when front passenger tire blew as a result the side curtain air bag deployed... impact from the blowout was low with no physical damage to the car or undercarriage... air bag should not have deployed in low impact situations causing safety issues and possibly harming sleeping infant in the back seat... called Honda about the issue and filed a claim... claim was denied and was told that the airbag did what it was supposed to do even though there is not damage to thr rim or any other part of the car other than the blown tire. Debris from the airbag and ceiling covered sleeping infant in rear facing seat that never woke up because impact was so low.

Takata recall, I just don't want it to automatically go off, that's scary, and it should be replaced by takata at no cost to myself. Unethical, unsafe, and a danger to other drivers as well!
