Description of the problem	Air bag light warning light remains on when vehicle is running. Took to dealer they said is clock spring assembly needs replacing. I told them it was a recall and they said there is no recall on it. I declined the repair because i knew there was a recall but i didn't take paperwork with me thinking they would know about it. Upon returning home and finding paperwork on recall (camp103) i called back and they now said there was a recall and they replaced that part in november 2012. I do not remember them replacing it but i'll take them at their word on that. My issue is, did they replace the recalled part with another defective part if it only lasted 18 months! I've had many cars over the years some a decade old or older never this air bag issue. I feel they should replace this recall again if they repaired it with another short lived defective part. .. .. . Updated 07/21/15 *bf
