FAKE AIRBAG - Free Carfax Link and List of Potential Vehicles

[TomLaPointe]

Reports continue to flow about the fake airbag situation, and I'm sure lawyers and risk managers will help clarify the exposure of dealerships, but here are a couple of quick links that may help you or your customers.
One is a free carfax page that reveals deployment reports: CARFAX® Vehicle History Reports™ - used car VIN check, auto history search, VIN number lookup
The other is a list of vehicles potentially affected: http://bit.ly/CarChat24-airbag
I hope these can help.

Since real airbags are so expensive I wonder if some dude out there would replace the expensive one for a fake one ten sell the expansive one on eBay, etc and pocket the difference.

I think Airbags need to get regulated better than they are right now.
