TEXT: We took in on trade a 1989 Chrysler LeBaron that had an air bag.

This vehicle was in an accident and the bag has been used.

We would like to know if there is any law that says we must replace this bag before we sell this car.

We would appreciate a reply as soon as possible.

Have a great day!
