you should bring it back to the dealer and let them know it started right after they did the recall. they probably pinched a wire.

Back to the dealer ASAP for anything that appears after a visit. The longer you wait the easier it is for them to deny.
Sounds like the BCM got messed up somehow.

My oh my OP’s car certainly has developed a lot of problems. Advice above is spot on, take it back to the dealer and show them what’s happening. Very good chance they made a mistake of some sort during the air-bag recall work. If so, also very good chance they’ll effect the repair gratis. Of course these problems could be a coincidence, unrelated to the air bag work. In which case less chance of a free repair.
Last summer I was buying a refrigerator at an appliance store, and another customer was there to get a replacement wiring harness for their super-duper-all-the-bells-and whistles appliance. I overheard the conversation:
Customer: We have no way to keep our food cold, we need this repair immediately!
Staff: The wiring harnesses are made in Thailand, and the plant there is shut down temporarily due to a Covid outbreak. But there’s one other plant that makes harnesses for this manufacturer, in China. Unfortunately that plant is tooled up to make a completely different harness.
Customer, sarcastically: Well, at least everything is under control then … lol …
