What did they do to service it? Replace the sensor under the passenger seat? Mine does that too and I understand that's where the problem lies. I also understand the sensor is pretty expensive, so in my case, at least for now, I just don't have a passenger side air bag. As for why GM doesn't recall them, I have no idea. We're gurus, not psychics.
