Time for an airbag replacement? 98 V70

Post by sjlevine »

Hi All,
I recently checked out the sticker on my driver's door, and it said to replace/service my entire airbag system in April 2008. We purchased the car in Sept. 1998...

Is this a time-sensitive problem?
Can I just get the airbags checked without a full dealer service?


Thanks!

Scott, no worries.
Volvo recently changed that to "life-time."
