Anyone else know of this, and to the people that have had them changed, did the dealer mention anything like this? What airbag did they install in your car?

Pretty sure that isn’t the case here, they won’t replace it until they have a fixed airbag.
Some cars we’re having a different type of airbag replaced (referred to as alpha) with a still defective but less deadly airbag.
