Since the first week i bought my honda dash screen read that "passanger airbag is off". I notified the workers at the honda service department several times when i would get it serviced. They stated that it wasn't anything to be concerned about, sometimes that happens. It doesn't show up all the time but every now and then it'll pop up.
