    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.
