MY SEATBELT/SRS LIGHT WENT CAME ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS SENSOR BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA DOES NOT COVER THE SRS SENSOR IN THE BUCKLE. WITH THIS SENSOR GOING BAD IT COULD CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG. MY HONDA HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE AIRBAG BUT NOTHING ON THE SENSOR. I BELIEVER HONDA SHOULD COVER THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
