Dealers name: Gary Smith Honda, 225 Miracle Strip SW, Fl., 32548. Is it safe to drive this car?

NOTHING ACTUALLY "HAPPENED" WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, SO I VISITED HENNESSEY HONDA IN WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA, FOR SERVICE. I AM PERPLEXED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE A PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR ALMOST $700. A RECALL WAS ISSUED THREE YEARS AGO, AND I HAD A CANISTER REPLACED ON THE 2007 HONDA FIT, DUE TO A RECALL. LAST WEEK I LOOKED ON THE NHTSA RECALL LIST AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL LIST FROM JUNE 27, 2019, AND THE 2007-2008 HONDA FIT IS LISTED. WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN INTO THE LIST, IT INDICATES THAT I HAVE 0 RECALLS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. IF THE AIRBAG PRODUCT WAS DEFECTIVE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR FOR A NEW ONE. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO MAKE SURE NHTSA KNOWS THAT THESE AIRBAGS STILL NEED REPAIRS, AND PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD BE PRESSURED BY NHTSA TO COMPLETE THESE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE. THANK YOU.

Honda is re-recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Fit vehicles covered under previous recall 10V-033. The remedy applied in this earlier recall may have been insufficient.
