1. If the airbag deploys, does it count as a major accident?
Generally speaking, if the airbag deploys, it is considered a major accident, because the airbag does not work under normal circumstances. If it pops up, causing the airbag to pop up, it means that the accident was relatively violent and the car suffered heavy damage, so the collision sensor is triggered to trigger the airbag to pop up.
However, this does not mean that the car where the airbag popped out is a major accident car. The definition of an accident car is that the structural part of the vehicle is damaged, because the structural part is integrated with the body. Once damaged, it cannot be repaired until leaving the factory. Standard, the safety performance is greatly reduced; but the airbag is not a structural part of the car body, so if only the airbag pops up, it cannot be recognized as an accident vehicle, let alone a major accident vehicle.
Of course, when the airbag pops up, it generally indicates that the collision was relatively violent, which may cause damage to the structure of the car. Therefore, whether it is an accident car or a major accident car depends on the degree of damage to the car. The actual degree, rather than just seeing whether the airbag deployed.
2. Can I buy a car with an airbag deployed?
Whether I can buy a car with an deployed airbag depends on the degree of damage to the various parts of the car.
Generally, after a car airbag pops up, if it does not affect the body structure and engine performance, there will be no problem with the car. The airbag system can be repaired or replaced, and it will have no impact on the original performance of the car; but if If the car is severely damaged, it is still not recommended to buy it. After all, the safety performance of the car in a major accident will be affected.
3. How to check whether a car’s airbag has deployed?
To determine whether a car’s airbag has deployed, generally the main thing is to look at the airbag module. Are there any traces of disassembly of the screws, whether the dashboard leather has been rewrapped, whether the airbag logo has any traces of forgery, whether the gap between the driver’s airbag module and the steering wheel is good, whether there are any signs of prying around, etc.
If you want a more rigorous report, such as if it involves a lawsuit, you can go to a 4S point and use a professional computer to read the collision record. Generally, the on-board computer will have such data, and the signals from the collision sensor will be recorded.
