My honda has had multiple recalls on the airbag but nothing on the sensor. I believer…

    Honda has a lifetime seatbelt warranty that states "honda will repair or replace any seat belt component that fails to function properly during normal use." seatbelt sensor is not working and honda now says it's an electrical not a seat belt component and not covered. My understanding is the sensor on/off state affects air bag deployment. *tr
