Airbag Replacement After Deployment

Deployed airbags cannot be reused. Dashboards may need replacing. Crash data may need clearing. Seatbelt pretensioners usually fire with the airbags and must be replaced too. Many control units store crash data that can only be cleared once, so a new unit may be required. Used or salvaged airbag parts are risky and illegal in some places. The work is safety critical and should be done by trained technicians.

Pyrotechnic charges inflate the bag once.

Only use genuine new parts. Check the airbag light works afterwards.
