Most airbags remain functional for 12-15 years under normal conditions. We only sell airbags within their recommended service life with proper storage history.
Can I install an airbag myself?
No. Airbag installation requires specialized training, tools, and safety procedures. Professional installation is mandatory for safety and warranty coverage.
Will any airbag fit my vehicle?
No. Airbags must be exact matches for your specific vehicle including year, model, trim level, and interior specifications. We verify compatibility before shipment.
Do airbags need programming after installation?
Many modern vehicles require airbag system programming or calibration after installation. We provide programming requirement information with each airbag.
Can I use airbags from a different model year?
