This is something that I picked up when I was working for an Audi / VW garage...
Yes, it's liability.
If somebody gets hurt or dies in an accident, and they trace it back to a repair to the air bag / SRS systems...guess what, any 2-bita lawyer is going to take the mechanic and the shop for everything.
Sure, how confident are you about your work...?
Do you want to take that chance?
Those are two, really different questions.
It's not worth that headache even though I'm getting paid $30 / hour for it ,and the shop is charging $150 / hour for the labor.
This is why I am not an aircraft mechanic.
