I waited 9 months to be notified that a part was available for the airbag recall. Shortly after the replacement part was installed the airbag light began going on and off. I called the dealer and was told that only if it was related to the particular part they installed was it covered. Since it would go on and off I left the problem, but since it never happened prior to the repair (8 years!) I was annoyed. 2 months later I was in a significant re-end accident the car was a total loss and the airbag never deployed. Should have kept complaining to the dealership/GMC to correctly repair the problem.
