very true - u still have an issue that needs fixing.
i had my car serviced (15k service) two weeks ago, and there was two (2) recalls performed:-
1. to fix the headlight startup sequence
2. to remove the phonebox signal booster

with regards to the airbag, vehicles not on the priority (alpha population) have until Dec 2019 to have the airbag replaced by the manufacturer.
hence the "don't call us, we'll call u" line.
i'm definitely on the list.
at some point between now and Dec 2019 i'm expecting, actually hoping, VW will replace the airbag in my Skoda.
