I don't see thethe SDL in your your sig line, is it new to you or someone else's?

Do the seat belts fully retract?

It could most likely be the steering wheel rings already mentioned, unless the belts don't fully retract. It is possible it may have been in enough of a bump to deploy the airbag(s) and then repaired. If that is the case whoever did the repairs most likely did not replace the crash sensor. The sensor is mounted on top of the tranny hump under the center console.
