I've got a 2011/2012 model ABS Vario base unit and last month received an email from ABS saying that they've had some issues where setting off the airbag caused the stitching on the airbag pocket to fail rather than the velcro. They just shipped me a new set of thinner Velcro to place over the older Velcro to reduce it's strength. If the serial number of your pack begins with 612 or 712 it could qualify. SN can be found taped to the cable next to the fill and outlet valve on the airbags themselves. Shoot me a PM with your email if you'd like me to forward you the email I got from them.
