NHTSA Complaint #11361936 — 2008 CHEVROLET COBALT

I RECENTLY ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE, THE PRIOR OWNER PUT BLACK TAPE OVER AIR BAG DEFECTIVE MESSAGE. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2014, IT STATES THE OWNER WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL INVOLVING THE IGNITION EFFECTING THE AIR BAGS. THE LISTING CODES NOT INDICATE WHETHER THE RECALL/ VEHICLE WAS EVER SERVICED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TEND TO THINK IT WAS NEVER DONE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DETERMINE, THE INCIDENT DESCRIBES THE CONSEQUENCE: IF THE KEY IS NOT IN THE RUN POSITION, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. CURRENTLY ON MY DASH, THE CHECK AIRBAG IS DISPLAYED. ORIGINAL RECALL FROM THE NHTSA MANUFACTURER'S REPORT DATE APRIL 18, 2014 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER N/A POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED 2,190,934 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 COMPONENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
