Who has the oldest airbag that has deployed?

Very little research has been done on the airbag's "shelf-life". Of course it is only required on the rare occasion of a frontal crash, and only needs to work once. Military use of cartidges in ejection seats have defined a short service life and two-year replacements. The Saab 9000 doesnot specify a service life or test procedure.
The 9000 has frontal airbags and seat belt pretensioners. The airbag deployment is obvious, the pretensioners are not.
My question is how old have airbags been that you know of, that have successfully deployed?
