- Water Ingress Or Seat Damage — Moisture Or Mechanical Damage To The Seat Structure Can Compromise The Module.
- Previous Improper Repairs — Incorrect Handling During Removal/Installation Can Damage The Inflator Or Connector.
Replacement Frequency And Indicators
Replace Immediately After Deployment Or If The SRS Warning Light Indicates A Passenger Airbag Fault. The airbag itself has no scheduled service life, but replacement is mandatory after activation. Persistent SRS faults related to the passenger side usually require inspection and may necessitate replacing the airbag module.
