10 year replacements (Seat belts & Airbags)
Discussion
According to the service schedule in the Owners Guide (V8 Vantage 4.7):
"Every 10 years from the date of vehicle registration, all airbag units and all seat belt pre-tensioners must be replaced. To ensure this is completed correctly and safely, this work should be carried out by your Aston Martin Dealership"
I assume that this is an important and necessary safety detail?
If you've had this done, what is the approximate cost?
Many thanks.

I'd file it in the 'not to worry about' drawer, it's been discussed a few times before....

Must be plenty of early cars that have not had this done, my own included, certainly no evidence of it in the history, and it was sold as a Timeless car over 10 years old without having them replaced, I'm not worrying about them, and it seems a little over the top at about £3.5k.

All new cars regardless of brand have it in their service schedule to have the airbags replaced after ten years. Not seen one ever mention seatbelts though and I’ve never heard of anyone replacing their airbags. Maybe it will be a decision that comes back to bite the day it’s needed and your head hits the wheel and then the airbag explodes afterwards like a cartoon but I guess none of us will know until that happens to someone. Can you get an airbag tested beyond the test the car does on start up? I don’t know
