I could be wrong but I think SRS system typically has 10 year manufacture warranty on it

Default airbag light malfunction on LS430

I have a 2006 LS430 and have had the vehicle in numerous times (probably 5 over the course of a year) for this issue. I brought up the code in this thread with my service advisor but was told it didn't apply to my vehicle. The last time they kept my car for more than 3 weeks and drove it 400 miles trying to get it to come back on but it never did. I have had it back for about 5 weeks now and it did come on about 3 weeks ago but it went off when I turned off the ignition and so far has not come back on. It only has 45,000 miles on it and I still have 3.5 years of extended warranty since it bought it as a certified preowned. I have not had to pay anything each time. With all the airbag recalls happening I am concerned that it may malfunction and shoot shrapnel into my face. Any other LS430's with this same problem?

Could be the steering buttons control module. If it that goes wack, could be the reason behind the message showing up.
