Can I choose not to replace the airbag in the Volkswagen Bora recall?
1 Answers
No, airbag recalls are mandatory for replacement. The role of airbags: In the event of an accident, the car's airbags can effectively protect the heads and chests of the driver and front passenger, as a severe frontal collision can cause significant deformation of the front part of the vehicle, and the occupants inside may be thrown forward due to the strong inertia, leading to impacts with interior components. How airbags deploy: Airbags require appropriate speed and collision angles to deploy. Theoretically, airbags may only deploy when the vehicle impacts a fixed object within approximately 60 degrees of the frontal area at a speed higher than 30 km/h.
