Service airbag light is on. Airbag removed and replaced at owner's expense. Diagnosed electrical concern. Cost not covered by GMC. There has been four airbag recalls on the 2016 GMC sierra since 2016, but none covering total replacement of the airbag. Recalls dated 09-08-2016, 07-10-2017, 11-25-2020, and 07-01-2021. Does not seem logical to me to cover cost for most of the component, but not the airbag itself. This doesn't seem fair. . . $1422. 45.
