How to Check if the Airbag in a Used Car Has Been Replaced?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to check if the airbag in a used car has been replaced: 1. Check for color difference: Observe whether there is a noticeable color difference between the airbag's appearance and the steering wheel. Also, check the assembly gaps—whether they are even, the assembly is smooth, and the lines match. 2. Examine the backside: In addition to the gaps on the front of the steering wheel, inspect the backside, where you can clearly see if the gaps are even. 3. Inspect the screws: Determine if the airbag has been replaced by checking for signs of screw tampering. There are two screw holes under the airbag for fixing the airbag device. Replacing the airbag requires loosening these two screws, which may rust in a humid environment over time. Use a strong flashlight to inspect them carefully.
