3 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2017

No electrical connection to steering wheel, air bag light is on. . . All similar problems to takata recall but my VIN was not included in the recall and the dealership is trying to charge me $800 to fix it. When vehicle was stationary and switched on, there was a tearing sound from the steering wheel - then nothing worked in the steering wheel, not the horn or the cruise control or anything. And the air bag light is on.
