How often should car airbags be replaced?

[DeNadia]

Car airbags should be replaced every 8 to 10 years. As long as the airbags are kept in a well-sealed environment and protected from moisture, they can generally last up to 10 years. Many car owners overlook the lifespan of airbags and often fail to inspect or replace them even when the vehicle is nearing the end of its service life. Therefore, it is recommended to check the airbags during the annual vehicle inspection, especially if the car is more than 8 years old. Even if the warning light is not on, it is still necessary to inspect them. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.
