Can airbags be installed aftermarket?

[LeDante]

Airbags can be installed aftermarket, but there are safety risks. Safety equipment cannot be modified arbitrarily: If a vehicle with privately installed safety equipment is involved in a major traffic accident, the insurance company may refuse to compensate on the grounds that the owner has altered the vehicle's safety structure without authorization. It is also unrealistic to hold the car modification shop responsible, and in the end, the owner may suffer the loss. Stability is not as good as the original: The stability and reliability of aftermarket airbags are definitely not as good as the original factory products. Since the structure and performance of each vehicle are different, safety equipment such as airbags must undergo matching tests before being finalized and installed. During the development process of airbags, the original equipment manufacturer invests tens of millions of yuan to conduct collision tests using the original vehicle under different speeds, different collision conditions, and with occupants of different heights and weights. This is to accumulate test data and control the detonation speed and timing of the airbags to avoid secondary injuries to occupants after a collision.
