Bonne question tient, je croyais que les airbags étaient à remplacer après 10 ans, mais en fait après une petite recherche...
D'après les constructeurs automobiles, les airbags ont une durée de vie de 10 ans, voire 15 max.
En pratique des tests ont montré que les airbags vieillissent mieux que prévus :
Do Airbags Expire?
Since airbags were new technology then, a number of automakers erred on the side of caution when estimating their lifespan. The owner's manual on early-1990s Honda and Acura vehicles, for example, recommended a dealer inspection of airbags every 10 years.
Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, was a bit more conservative. The automaker installed airbag replacement labels on all vehicles sold in the U.S. through roughly 2002, says Diedra Wylie, a spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz. The labels called for new airbags at the 15-year mark. After 2002, Mercedes research concluded that the airbags it produced after January 1, 1992 would last the life of the vehicle, Wylie says.
"Advances in airbag module technology now ensure the lifelong, functional reliability of the airbags," says Wylie.
In pre-1992 Mercedes vehicles with airbags, the part needs to be replaced after 15 years. The vehicle's owner will have to foot the bill of roughly $2,000.

As proof of the lifetime durability of GM airbags, Knowlden pointed to a 1992 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study, where a rusty 1972 Chevrolet Impala was crash-tested and both the driver's airbag and passenger airbag successfully deployed. That Impala was one of the first 1,000 airbag-equipped cars made by GM.
Avant 1992 : remplacement conseillé tous les 10 ans; après : probablement pas nécessaire.
Dans ce test d'une Chevrolet Impala de 1972, tous les airbags ont fonctionné correctement.
