The service life of the Inflator Assembly (expiration date) is determined by the date of

been reworked or refurbished, the label will show an expiration date and should be removed
and returned to AmSafe for disposal (once it has reached its expiration date).

ONCE THE INFLATOR IS INSTALLED IN ITS INTENDED LOCATION FOR USE
(SEAT), THE ASSEMBLY THAT CONTAINS THE INFLATOR IS NOT REGULATED
BY DOT.
