I have noticed that almost every manufaturer is recalling air bags from years 2002 and up, I called Chrysler and they said the vehicle is too old and not enough of them are still around, which is not true. There are lots of older Jeep still in service as off road vehicles, but mine is a daily drive vehicle. How do I know if mine will work when needed? knock on wood it will never be needed, but I would like to know I'm safe with my family. My 2005 Wrangler is strong
