It would have to be fixed in Virginia, by yearly inspection time, or it won't pass. I'd try to get one from the salvage yard. Even then, it might not be an easy plug and play swap out. I swapped seats out in my son's 2013 Ford Focus, ST. The passenger seat is registered to the car's computer, and when we swapped them, the airbag light wouldn't go out. We put the old passenger seat back in, and left the new (swapped) driver's seat in place. The airbag light went out.
