Presumably its got damaged somehow or it would be a warranty claim.
I have no idea if the part would fit, but would you really want to risk it, not so much that it failed to work if neeeded (bad enough) but that it suddenly went off unexpectedly, apart from the shock and noise if driving at the time, if it went off as someone was entering/exiting the vehicle serious injury could easily result.
Some of my old mates tested a steering wheel airbag by setting it off in their workshop for the fun of it, they had to patch the hole in the roof 25' above afterwards.
