Are aging air bags a concern ?
I realized today that my 99 996 C4 is 25 years old . I have been contemplating changing the steering wheel to a different color . That got me thinking OEM vs aftermarket . And finally got me thinking about the air bags .
A Google search found info that said air bags are good for 10-15 years . Other sites said lifetime of the vehicle . But what is the lifetime of a vehicle ??? 20 years ? 30 years ? 50 years ?
Generally speaking the aftermarket wheels eliminate the air bag . And they are less $$$ than OEM . My biggest concern with air bags in general is the possibility of them going off without an accident . Again because of age . So what do you guys say on the subject ?
