the air bag if it's not been deployed like all other explosives may be come worthless, It is true that after a 10 year period of time, they may need to re-charge it because in a crash, the force behind the bag expanding is this "powder" you speak of .. put it like this.. Has anyon ever light a M1000 fire cracker? it's really loud... powerfull .. and works properly .. well who has found one burrined under socks in their dressor drawer and light one many years later.... doesnt quite work the same,, not very loud,and doesnt impress you like it used to. Im not a scientist, but the ingredients to cause the blast probably brake down, or change chemically over time and may eventually with temperature changes and the air, render them selves useless. This is by no means any enlightening im giving here, this is my best Guess only with the minimum information I know about explosives. I hope you guys under stand it better now.
to answer a few questions:
1.) would it be feasible to do this to my car? Yes, if you really care abouit your air bags for saving your life.
2.) how salty is it? well.. Im not sure about the price, but most cars wannty is damn straight over by the time 10 years goes by.. so you're on your own finding a price.
3.) How important is it to re-charge air bags, Not at all unless like i said you would like to save your self with them some day... I mean face it .. Accidents don't often require air bags to go off, the ones that do .. how many lives have thye saved anyway?
yes.. youre questoining me, well if you have any other questions, youre the type of persomn who would use the security in recharging your bags. If this seems irrelivant to you, then don't chanrge them. I hope i did a good job trying to explain this

Maybe it will open more slowly like the newer generation airbags.
why don't someone just pick up the phone and call their local toyota dealership????
