I've had a number of gm and ford vehicles over the years with inflatable lumbar supports and they all, every single one, fail or start to not hold air in a very few years. When and if I take my seats out I am going to custom replace them with closed cell reasonably stiff foam in those spots and disable the function completely. Pretty much useless from my point of view over time as is.
