How Often Should Car Airbags Be Replaced?

[DeJessica]

Car airbags should be replaced every 8 to 10 years. Airbags form an elastic cushion in front of the driver or passengers when a collision occurs during driving, promptly deflating and contracting to absorb impact energy, thereby effectively protecting the head and chest from injury or reducing the severity of injuries. The installation method for the airbag clock spring is as follows: 1. Align the wheels and steering wheel, then disconnect the negative terminal of the battery; 2. Remove the steering wheel assembly and steering wheel airbag, followed by the exterior trim of the headlight switch; 3. Remove the old airbag clock spring and install the new one; 4. Rotate the airbag clock spring to its limit and then turn it back two and a half turns, reinstall the steering wheel and steering wheel airbag, and reconnect the battery's negative terminal.
