I was scanning my vehicle with an obd2 scanner and learned that my car, which I'm not the original owner, has had recalls and I don't know if they've been rectified. Attached are screenshots of the recall information. The first one has me more worried than the other....inadvertent deployment of airbags. Please read the details. The second (front struts) is something that also concerns me because of its lack of shock absorption. My VIN# [xxx] (also on the screenshots) if you have any information on the history of my vehicle and whether or not these issues have been resolved, please share it with me. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Toyota Corolla dx 1997 the car was sold by the manufacturer in St louis Missouri while I was in law school. The car has been now in Florida for the last ten year in a warm, extremely humid climate.
