My sentiments exactly. I'm willing to give them a free shot with the fuel line since that's not a very likely scenario during in-house testing, but this aspect of the safety system and the other issue starting to come about are cheap shots.

I got mine done on Monday at Bell mitsubishi along with my fuel line. The service guy seemed suprised when he saw the airbag recall popup.

I believe you have to call MMNA and explain the situation to get a waiver.

I would imagine if you typically drive in the effected recall states it wouldn't be too hard to get it approved. I doubt they want to give much of a fight especially since you can also mention your good friend "Law", last name "Suit" if it should ever fail to deploy in an accident and they denied your request to get it fixed.
