4 Warning Light On problem

My airbag warning light went on just prior to my 80000 mile service. I informed my vw service dept of this. When I picked up my car I was informed that to repair the problem would cost $800-$900. This is equipment that has no moving is factory installed. This is obviously a manufacturing defect. Is this common? what are my options? do I have any recourse?.
