Recently had the recall for the driver side airbag replacement. This work was performed and then I was told the driver side wire harness/seat buckle itself was the cause of the SRS light being on all the time. Had no connection to the airbag recall and I would have to pay $610. to have this buckle assembly replaced. As I've found a recall for this problem, why wouldn't my Honda service centre replace under warranty. I am not impressed with this lack of disclosure on their part.
