My airbag warning light is on. My mechanic noticed a recall, campaign id R0807, but the recall only affects vehicles registered in 'salt' states. I live in va but traveled extensively in pa, Maryland, DC for work for many years. Since my vehicle is experiencing the failure that the recall was issued for, my vehicle should be covered as part of the recall. The recall should be extended to bordering states to account for frequent travel across state lines.

My airbag light is flashing and the front air bag crash zone sensor needs to be replaced. There is a recall in effect, but only for vehicles in 'salt' states. My vehicle is registered in va, but I traveled in pa, md, and DC for several years for work, so my vehicle should be covered on the existing warranty recall.
