This letter is to request a Letter of Interpretation regarding air bag replacement, air bag indicator light functioning, and any requirements or recommendations for indicator lights to be functional upon resale of a vehicle.

As I understand, once an air bag is discharged, an indicator light will illuminate to show that the bag needs replacement.
