I started to notice this issue months after purchasing it used from a private party.

Takata recall. My daughter's 2005 honda hybrid's airbag inflators have never been replaced. When I type in the car's VIN, no outstanding issues are listed. However, when I type in "2005 honda accord hybrid" at this site, issues with the airbags are listed. Why the discrepancy? Why are airbag issues listed when I type in the year make and model, but no issues are listed when I type in the VIN? Should I be able to see when the issues were presumably corrected?
