Please can someone confirm this ?
I was told by a friend that air bags get expired after 10yrs.
How true is this ?

YES,

The airbag does expires BUT,

it varies between 10 - 15 years between different brands & models of Cars, BENZ models cars are usually for 15 years,

after the expiration date, it needs to be serviced, irrespective of either its been deployed before or not,

Ill leave this for the auto engineers for further clarification

Ivvie:


The term "Expire" isn't as it means. I think it is in reference to "assurance of guarantee." Once deployed, you need to purchase another and have the dealer mount it and then inspected for certification.

well said Ivvie, i really would not have been able to imagine the number of Nigerians( may be 70%) that would have flown out of their cars due to overspeeding and driving of cars that are over 15yrs old.
