Service airbag on the dash / airbag light on

I understand that 2006 cadillac cts has a recall for airbag problems. Cadillac doesn't deny that the same system was used in the sts. I've seen several complaints about the same problem. I just wonder why the sts was not recalled. I knew there was no warranty, and that's why I contacted cadillac. Knowing this they sent me for a diagnostic, which was a waste of time and money. The end result was that they said it's not under warranty. I would just like you to investigate to see if there should be a recall. This is a safety issue that cadillac should address.

Started receiving a constant, "service air bag" warning message after 125,000 miles. The dealer told me the passenger presence module needed replaced. It will cost $1,000 for the part, labor, and programming. Now I read on this forum that the same issue was found on the cts model and it was recalled by the manufacturer, but not the sts. It's difficult to justify putting that much money in an older vehicle.

Takata recall: service airbag warning appeared on the instrument panel. Auto is currently in the shop for analysis. The 2006 cts has the same airbag system. And it has been recalled. The sts has not. Why?
