Don’t know about recalls, but if the airbag warning lights are on and the horn doesn’t work, my first guess would be a faulty clock-spring mechanism. That part is a flexible wiring harness that allows electrical parts to be situated on the steering wheel. You are welcome to search through prior forum discussions about that topic, link upper right this page.

Welcome to the forum…

Any recalls:  
Call the dealer service department with your VIN and they will tell you if your vehicle has any open recalls on it…

CEL (check engine light on):  
Scan codes, a decent scanner should be able to read the CEL & SRS (air bag light) and post codes on here…

George already advised on the air bag/horn, but still pull the codes…
