Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara

The air bag dash lite came on, when taken in for repair the dealer told me that they have seen several like this and that it was a defective passenger seat sensor, the fix is to replace the entire seat? if this is happening to several people why not a recall? the cost t replace the seat over $2000.

Air bag light on and radio flashing. Took car into dealer, I was told he knew exactly what the problem was, already had another vehicle in earlier the same day with the same problem. Passenger side air bag sensor under the seat had gone out. Would have to replace the entire bottom of the seat at a cost of over $1000. 00. Not covered under warranty and the air bag will not work without the senor. This is a 2004 model vehicle that the passenger side is rarely if ever used. An air bag sensor going out within a year and with more than one car in the same day seems to be a major safety issue that should be resolved immediately. Obviously there is a defect if my car is not the only one with a similar problem.
