Warning Light On problems of the 2005 Volkswagen Beetle

My 2005 Volkswagen Beetle has the warning lights on for the airbag. The repairman diagnosed it as codes p1738 and p1739 which indicate the frontal crash sensors for the driver and passenger sides. 76,900 cars under recall 08v178000 have the same issues for this. My VIN was not included. The vw dealer is not willing to fix, I feel I am being penalized by having to pay 500. 00 to repair a known problem. I will never own another vw again if this is what I can expect.
