Checking Mounting Components after an Accident
It is essential to always replace all damaged mounting components - it is not permissible to "reshape" or rework damaged components.
Following components must be checked after every airbag deployment.
If front passenger airbag has been deployed :
‹› Instrument panel central tube, passenger airbag supports and passenger airbag module must be installed free of tension. Replace central tube.
‹› Check glove compartment for damage. Replace glove compartment if damaged.
If driver airbag has been deployed:
‹› Steering wheel: Remove steering wheel and lay with steering wheel rim on a flat surface. The entire steering wheel rim must rest on the surface.
Otherwise, steering wheel should be replaced.
‹› Check steering wheel for smoke residue. If smoke residue is present, replace steering wheel.
