What is Post-crash Safety Inspection?
It covers structure, steering and suspension. It checks airbags and belts. It checks ADAS sensors. Even a minor collision can bend suspension parts, misalign radar sensors behind the bumper or damage wheel rims. The inspection usually includes wheel alignment, a scan of all control units for fault codes and calibration of driver assistance systems. A written report helps with insurance claims and future sale.
