Does the deployment of vehicle airbags have a significant impact on the car?
1 Answers
The impact of airbag deployment on a vehicle should be considered from the following two perspectives: 1. If the airbag deploys due to its own design defects or technical malfunctions, this situation does not fall under the category of an accident vehicle, and the impact on the vehicle is minimal. 2. If the airbag deploys due to a collision, other structures of the vehicle are likely to be damaged as well. Below is some relevant information about airbags: 1. Basic information. Vehicle airbags are generally composed of sensors, microprocessors, electronic control units, airbag covers and support rings, airbags, and airbag modules. As a one-time active safety device, once an airbag is deployed due to a collision, it cannot be reused. 2. Vehicle depreciation. Whether an airbag has been deployed is not the key factor in determining a vehicle's resale value. The most important factor is the extent of damage to other structures of the vehicle caused by the impact that triggered the airbag. If the collision results in irreversible structural damage to the engine or the vehicle's body, the vehicle is then classified as a major accident vehicle, leading to a more significant depreciation in value.
