for the airbag light you have to go to the dealer or an independent shop that has the right computer to clear the error

According to this post if the frame is not cracked you can kneel on the headrest and force it back into the frame. Most others say replace.

I wonder if it would deploy if the seat was reclined and you were resting your head on it. A rude awakening!
