Hit Pothole -> Airbag malfunction

So I hit a pothole that jolted my car and right afterwards, my airbag and seatbelt malfunction light came on. I pulled on the passenger seatbelt and now the lights and malfunction warnings are gone. Should I still bring it to the dealer to get it checked out?

There was a recall on this for '06 models with sport seats. It was a faulty passenger seat mat sensor.....it cracks and throws intermittent errors.
