Hi Folks,

Just noticed a sticker on the side of the driver door that says: Parts
of the air bag protective system must be serviced or replaced by
specified date according to your owner's manual. My date on the
sticker says: April 2006.

How important is it to have this serviced or replaced? Is it something
that's covered by dealer? If not how much should I expect to pay?

Thanks and cheers!

IIRC they extended the replacement date significantly later on. I've heard
of 24 year old airbags being tested that worked just fine, so just ignore
that sticker. Replacing the airbags on a 10 year old car will cost more than
the value of the car.
