Air Bag Light On problems of the 2002 BMW M3

In November, 2020, I received a notification from BMW that the previous fix to my airbag was only a temporary fix, and I needed to bring my car in for a permanent fix. In January, 2021, the airbag light went on. I am getting ready to start driving my cars on a regular basis again, so I took the car in this week for the airbag recall. They spent 2 hours, to allegedly replace a module. As I was getting ready to leave, the airbag light was still on. They said that wasn't part of the recall, and I needed to pay $200 to have it diagnosed. 3 hours later, they said it was an airbag module (presumable different than the one they allegedly just replaced), and they said it is not part of the recall. Now, the first repair for the airbag was roughly two years ago, now they are saying the module that is failing is not related to the recall. I think they either didn't do the airbag module when it was in for the repair or the fact they installed a "temporary fix" two years ago is leading to the failure of this module today. Anyway, I don't see how this is not part of the recall. Oh, they want $2,000 to fix it.
