Question: What is cost to totally replace, including est. labor fees, the airbag on my vehicle?

My 06' Hyundai Tucson was totaled recently. My driver side airbag deployed. In waiting to hear back from insurance company in estimated damage, if it's not totaled how much is it going to cost to replace airbag?

A shop will need to look at it to see what needs replacement, so there's no good way to give an estimate for this type of problem without seeing the vehicle.
