The vehicle sticker states that driver and passenger airbags are standard equipment. There are in fact NO AIRBAGS!! I brought this to the dealers attention at the time of our first service. The dealer said that it was a Freightliner issue and to contact Freightliner. I did so by email. Freightliner stated that their S2RV Chassis have never come with airbags and at this point they have no intention of adding them. I contacted Jayco customer service by email and they said "Its a typo". Jayco has been representing that their Super C Senecas have had driver and passenger airbags since at least 2012. They have not had airbags since Jayco switched to the Freightliner S2RV Chassis.
