The originals lasted 2002 to 2008. I didn't own it then, but dealer had to replace them because previous owner traded it in with collapsed front end. The tag has the date on it, so I can see these were indeed 2008. That would be set #2. Then 2008 through late 2016, and both failed under my ownership, one gradually, one catastrophically. So the Arnott's are set #3.

It's my understanding this isn't real unusual, but in any case, it was only about $750 for the pair of bags. Repairs on this car run me perhaps $100 to $200 a year (parts only, my labor), so I don't mind the occasional thing like this. Still cheap to keep.
