Airbag tensioner seatbelt light is on (red one); AKA, SRS (supplemental restraint system) Dealership pulled codes 41-11 and 42-11, which are the front left and right impact sensors. They said the impact sensors "appear to be okay". but the main SRS computer unit control modular is "not working properly". The car has 137,000 miles on it and has not been in an accident and the light came on immediately when I started my car after it sat for a day without driving it. I live in rural area where no one could have tampered with my car. The dealership was perplexed and said they have seen this happen a lot recently and believe it is a defect in the SRS unit. The impact sensors are fine but the codes are being thrown for impact sensors, not the SRS unit; which they said if I paid 1,000 dollars (might) resolve the impact sensors error... if not, then I would have to pay another 900 for parts/labor to do the sensors as well. THIS IS A MANUFACTOR DEFECT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS I CALLED MANY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE WARRANTIED AS A SAFETY HAZARD... Honda will not yet acknowledge that me or my family could be killed because their computer SRS unit malfunctions. I will continue to support and buy only HONDA but I NEED this to be warrantied and replaced no cost out of my pocket. Please issue a recall or honor the repair cost IMMEDIATELY.

The sensors on pull code and note 41-11 no signal from lf impact sensor. Dealer is telling me that I have to replace this because my air bags will not deploy. This is a manufacturer defect. I have never been in a accident where any of my airbags have deployed. Why wasn't my car included in a recall? this could potentially kill me. I drive my kids in this car

Takata recall: I received a recall for one airbag. My automobile is in Florida. Honda Pilot. Ruptures are far more likely in inflators in vehicles that have spent significant periods of time in areas of high absolute humidity'particularly Florida. Why was only one front airbag recalled? now your website shows no recalls for this car. I am worried about driving it.
