Nah. Side and rear impacts don't trigger it.
Unless of course you assume that everybody that totals one crashes head onto something at more than 25 MPH there should be loads around. Most wreckers are on a system so even if they don't have on on site they can order it. Be way cheaper than buying new!

IIRC, due to some safety/legal/liability regulations, auto wreckers can't resell airbags.

i know there's signs about it posted in my local pick-a-part yards.

found a thread about it:

looks like you need to put your Big Boy pants on, and pony up the $400.

Well damn. I wonder if they passed that law here. Time to go look.

Well that was easy. Perfectly legal here. And quite cost effective.

according to the content in this article from 2015, it seems to be state-by-state laws:
https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2...-airbag-sales/

yep, it's state-by-state legislation:
https://media.npr.org/documents/2008/oct/airbag.pdf

as of 2007, it appears that it's still legal to sell them within Ontario:
https://www.thestar.com/news/2007/08...g_airbags.html

Quebec appears to have laws against it:

The Quebec law permits it if the airbag is sold through a certified recycler. So if you got it from a certified yard you can use it but can't just yank one out of any old wreck.
