I can't tell you in which issue. But it seems like I saw about two years ago, in the Star magazine, a note about Air bag renewal times. If I remember correctly, they extended the replacement time from 10 to 15 years. Don't consider my information definitive. But, maybe you can call 1-800 FOR MERCEDES, and ask them. Hopefully this will help your peace of mind. Hopefully we never have to find out in practical application whether or not they will work.

Good luck,
