The life expectancy of air bags on your coach suspension are right at the 8-12 year range. Eight years would be more of the norm for a Newell used or stored in a dry

climate. And twelve years for the same Newell living its life in a moist/humid climate. A few small outer cracks are pretty normal after a few years and don't mean the bag

is going to blow out anytime soon. The main thing I would suggest is to make sure you completely inspect all air bags and their systems during all major service intervals.

Any leaks coming from the rubber is definitely a sign of a bad bag. Major cuts or or deeper cracks are tell tale signs.
