Took vehicle to dealer to correct recall issue (18v363). Completed the work and said it was fixed. My airbag light remains "on". Interim notice on recall mentioned if airbag warning light comes on and remains illuminated to take to dealer. I believe, because of this, that the two are related and the repair should lead to the airbag light going out. I was told it would be $200 to correct it with a new seatbelt buckle assembly. Is the airbag light remaining illuminated related to safety recall 18v363?.
