Takata recall - I took my car to make the labor because the takata recall and few month later the light of the air bag in the front panel is on (red). Then I take my other car (the same model and year except for the color) and happen the same thing. Today both cars have the airbag light on. No body have found why, but it was after the labor because of the recall of the airbags. I dont remember right now the specific date.

Takata recall: The passenger airbag was replaced under a recall several years ago. The driver's airbag warning light is now on. Also, the right front wheel bearing has been replaced at least six times since I purchased this vehicle in December, 2008. The first two or three were replaced while the car was still under warranty, but I have had to replace the same right front wheel bearing another three to four times thereafter at my own expense. The last time I had to replace the wheel bearing was in December, 2016, while on vacation. It seems the problem just hasn't been permanently solved. So frustrating and expensive for another wonderful vehicle.
It took way too long for the dealership to get the parts and call us for the repair, especially considering the magnitude of this safety issue. I was nervous for my family's safety.
