Airbag
From Page 7
Vehicle manufacturers and most insurance companies recommend that only new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) airbag modules and components be installed in the event of an airbag deployment. New OEM airbag components can only be purchased from a vehicle manufacturer’s authorized dealer.
There are numerous companies advertising overruns and blemished airbags for sale. It is questionable where these airbags are coming from since only vehicle manufacturers make and distribute new airbags. Recently, part of the answer may have been solved. Remember that stolen airbag ring mentioned above? The members were accused of selling the stolen airbags to discount airbag suppliers who sold them to collision repairers through magazine ads.
This leads to the next question consumers should ask:
May I see the airbag sales documentation?
Always ask for sales documentation for the airbag module and components. A legitimate collision repair facility will be able to supply this information.
This documentation should show the authorized dealership that supplied the items.
Consumers should also complete and return the information card that is enclosed with every replacement
