Consumer Description

TAKATA RECAL....THIS WAS TAKEN TO DEALER IN 2015 FOR THE RECALL AND FIXED. RECENTLY THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS FOR THE OCD, NOT THE MODULE....THEY FOUND A "FAULTY CONTROL MODULE". THE MODULE IS PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM. THE ABS MODULE AND THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODEL COMMUNICATE TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A PART OF THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE MODULE HAS BEEN RESET FOR NOW.....TO REPLACE.....THAT PART COSTS $1456.00
