1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2018

Takata inflator -- took car in to dealer to have the airbag replaced but dealer said that this car has a different model airbag that was only used on a few cars for a month a so by SAAB, so it doesn't need to be replaced. However, we keep getting recall notices all the time and I'm afraid this will affect resale of car. Can this be confirmed?.
