Your dealership discovered during a diagnostic test that your driver-side airbag is not functioning properly and needs repair. You were not informed about this airbag issue when you purchased the car in early April, and only learned about it when you brought the vehicle in for a different problem in June. This is a serious safety concern because the airbag may not deploy in an accident. The repair will likely involve replacing or repairing the airbag system and addressing any related wiring or sensor problems.
