Description of the problem	About 2+ months ago, i had my car serviced for brakes, oil change, and filters. Within a day or two i noticed a crack on my dashboard near the airbag passenger unit. Thinking it was florida heat related, i paid it no attention. During this covid pandemic i now see that the other side of the passenger airbag notation on the dashboard is cracked as well, and the last time my husband and i ran an errand, the airbag warning light went on. Now i'm afraid to use the car to any extent except around town for short errands and was wondering what i should do. The recall number 174 shows no open recalls on this issue... However.... All receipts i have since i've owned this vehicle do not show it having been repaired. I see that the initial report of the recall (not remedy) was incorporated into the seat belt issue, however, the remedy notice is the one i have no record of having been repaired. The dealer has recommended other work be done on the vehicle each time i've brought it in for a recall item (??)!
