Can the car still be driven after the airbag deploys and is repaired?

After the airbag deploys and the car is repaired, it can still be driven. Lifespan of airbags: Apart from needing replacement after deployment, airbags do not last as long as the car itself. As an important component of a vehicle, their lifespan may not necessarily match that of the car. Generally, airbags are designed to last 8 to 10 years. With the implementation of new car scrappage policies, many cars can now be used for over a decade. Composition of airbags: The automotive airbag system consists of sensors, the airbag, indicator lights, and a control computer. While the airbag is functioning, another system monitors its operation. The inflation process of an airbag involves a chemical reaction that produces gas. The chemicals involved can potentially become damp, the various connectors in the wiring may loosen, and sensors can also fail.
