How Often Should Car Airbags Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Car airbags should be replaced every 8 to 10 years. Airbags deploy only when the vehicle is involved in a severe collision. As an auxiliary configuration for passive vehicle safety, airbags consist of an airbag sensor, an anti-collision airbag, and an electronic control device. They must be used in conjunction with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for occupants. The purpose of airbags is to offer a soft cushion and restraint during a collision, reducing injuries between passengers and vehicle components. Airbags provide an energy-absorbing surface between vehicle occupants and the steering wheel, dashboard, body pillars, headliner, and windshield.
