2013 Buick Verano

INTERMITTENT WARNING ON INFORMATION DASHBOARD TO SERVICE AIRBAG. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT SERVICE WARNING UNLESS IT WAS ACTIVE, BUT DUE TO INTERMITTENCY IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BRING IN AN ACTIVE ALARM. ALARM COMES IN AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DOES NOT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO ANY SPECIFIC SET OF CONDITIONS. ALARM SIMPLY STATES TO SERVICE AIRBAG. THE ALARM HAS COME IN NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF THE ALARM, BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I THINK THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG CONNECTION ON THE BUICK VERANOS, BUT OUR SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
