Since a functioning SRS system is required for safety check. What happens if the parts you need to fix your system are obsolete at the dealer and you can't locate anything used?

I don't know that it's been an issue yet but I'm starting to see early Ford parts being discontinued with no replacements/superceded part available. So far other dealers have had the part available but eventually there's going to be something no one has. Now what?

whoa...

Manufacturers are supposed to keep parts for 10 years beyond date of manufacture. SRS has been around since the early 90s... so yeah.. we are rapidly approaching 20 years so absolete parts are an issue...

Good question Rob
