Default horn doesn't work

on my 2001 convertible, the horn and the alarm horn stopped sounding. Is there a recall on the airbag that could be causing this? I've been told that the airbag assembly must be replaced. IF this is so is there a recall on the airbag? please advise asap. thanks, or email me at rkbk@yahoo.com

I have never heard of any recall on the air bag but it DOES NOT need to be replaced to fix the horn. The horn membrane in the steering wheel needs to be replaced to fix it.
If you do a search you will find the procedure on how to do it. You can also do a Google search and find it.

Sounds like the horns not getting power
Check the under hood fuse panel first.
Horn Mini-fuse #11
Horn Micro-relay #36
Check the wires at the horns
After the easy stuff then go to the air bag.
