Had drivers side airbag recall installed by dealer. Passenger side not available. With the installation of new air bag on drivers site the switch to turn off the passenger airbag gave red air bag symbol indication problem..cost almost $300 to replace switch and still passenger air bag on recall.. Dodge said switch not covered in recall. It should be as no light before replacement.when I drove the vehicle to the dealer. Is the switch covered in recall? if not why not as integral part of passenger side airbag. Vehicle stationary with airbag light on. Dodge dealer returned vehicle with airbag light on to me. I returned for waring light fix. In other word they sent it out of shop with the passenger side waring light on.
