The air bag sensor light for our 2004 honda accord is on almost all the time while driving. Sometimes goes off, sometimes just stay on the whole time we drive. I believe it's under the air bag recall (nhtsa campaign #07v001000), but when we call the dealership they said our vin number is not in the recall list. I need to know why our vin number is not on the list and we have the same problem that's. *tr
