Safety Restraint System Warning on Dash

Hi all! I recently purchased a 2026 Chevy Traverse back in April, and it currently has about 2,500 miles. About two weeks ago, the vehicle completed a system update.
A couple of days later, I started getting an airbag warning. The Chevrolet app has been inconsistent. Sometimes it says there are no alerts, and other times it shows an “airbag deployment issue.” On the dashboard, it will sometimes tell me to schedule service, and other times it won’t. I had thought maybe the update triggered a sensor?

For the past week, the warning has been constantly beeping and popping up while driving, so I took it to the dealership. They had it all day and told me they found “the connector not fully seated” and repaired a loose connection at the outer seat airbag.
The problem is that I drove off the lot, and the warning came back almost immediately.

Has anyone else experienced this on a 2026 Traverse or another Chevy vehicle? If so, what ended up being the actual cause, and how was it fixed? I really can’t afford to keep taking time off work for multiple service visits, so I’d love to know if there’s something specific I should ask the dealership to check.

Thanks in advance!
