Takata recall: an indicator light on the dash periodically indicates a possible problem with the airbag system. I never know when it's going to light up and it does eventually turn off. My vehicle is not on a recall list for takata airbags, while i believe i have takata airbags. This happens rather in motion or stationary and seems to happen more often in warmer weather.

This would provide access to the passenger side…
