Default Re: SRS light on after Takata airbag recall

MAKE SURE you video the SRS light on dash during a startup (SRS self check) before you let them have it, THEN have them verify no SRS light lit (after SRS self check) on the ticket. With the video, and in-checker statement on ticket, you are sure they messed it up if it is lit when you pick it up (which you should not pick up until fixed on THEIR dime). The SRS self-check WILL let you know the bulb works AND let you know the system IS WORKING correctly. Hearing a couple of horror stories before I brought mine in, I was prepared. The OP is going to have quite a hard time proving they screwed his car up, that's for sure.


They WILL hang you out to dry if ANY doubt is present since dealership management has to cover the repair out of their pockets. Be aware and prepared!
