Air Bag problem

Erroneous airbag failure error code detected. Airbag failure light on dash and airbag failure text also appears on dash. Porsche dealer reports that there is a technical service bulletin issued by Porsche cars of north America to fix this problem. The fix involves re-wiring the ground system and replacing the seat belt clasps. Dealer indicates that this would cost me $850 to have this repair work done. Dealer reset the error code but it re-appeared the following day indicating a problem with the passenger seat belt. Porsche should fix this admitted defect for free and issue a recall as this is definitely a safety hazard. Ignoring the false failure indication may very well mask more serious underlying error conditions with the airbag system.
