AmSafe Inflator Life to 12 Years

Post by mdieter »

I was preparing to replace the AmSafe seatbelt airbag inflators this annual when my mechanic found the attached service bulletin which looks like it extends the inflator life to 12 years! I also attached the original letter that extended the life from 7 to 10 years.

Since these appear to run $250-300 each plus installation, this is a welcome savings.

I'm crossing my fingers that they extend the lifetime again within the next two years :lol:
