while there is no recall on this item, there is an extended warranty from Honda for 10 years/150,000 on the OPDS sensor which is the part that usually fails and causes the light to come on. Heres what Honda has to say about the extended warranty:BACKGROUNDSeveral vehicle models may have a problem with theOPDS (occupant position detection system) thatcauses the SRS indicator to stay on. Typically, one ormore of these DTCs will be set:• SRS DTC 15-1 (faulty OPDS unit or OPDS notinitialized)• SRS DTC 15-2 (faulty side airbag indicator circuit)• SRS DTC 15-3 (faulty OPDS sensor)To ensure continued reliability with the OPDS,American Honda is extending the warranty on theOPDS unit and the OPDS sensor to 10 years or150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.you will need to take the car to the dealer to have it checked to see if this is the problem that is causing the light to come on. there should not be a charge to check it if it is the condition that is covered by the extended warranty. It takes about 3 minutes to determine if the light is on for the OPDS or if it is some other cause. If it is caused by something else then the dealer will want to charge you for further diagnosis. At that point you can say 'no' if you don't want to go any further.my guess is it will be covered under the extended warrantyalso: it is not a fuse and the airbags will not go off when the light SRS light is on; whenever the SRS light is on the airbag system is disabled. Unless you have the special tool, you can't just turn the light off; even if you did, it would come back on the next time you drove the car.hope that answers your question
