How can a vehicle owner check their air bag to ensure that it is safe?
Vehicles with air bags are equipped with a light on the dash that would indicate any problems with the air bag system. However, this diagnostic system and the light will not indicate whether the air bag is a rebuilt air bag. Whether an air bag is rebuilt or not can only be determined by a repair shop and requires that the air bag be removed from the steering wheel or vehicle dash for closer inspection. MTO recommends that vehicle owners go to a qualified repair shop to determine whether rebuilt air bags from National Sacs Gonflables Inc. have been installed in their vehicle.
