The National Insurance Crime Bureau suggests the following prevention tips to help avoid airbag fraud and theft.
- Use a reputable automobile collision repair shop that employs ASE-certified mechanics.
- Inspect the invoice to ensure the repair shop purchased the airbag from a manufacturer, dealer or recyclers.
- If possible, inspect the airbag prior to installation. If new, it should be packaged in a sealed container from the manufacturer.
- The trim cover over the steering column should be the same color as the remaining trim interior. If not, it is an indication that the original airbag has been replaced.
- When you turn on your vehicle's ignition, a red SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
- indicator should light up and flash in the instrument panel display, indicating the airbag system is activated. No SRS light indicates a problem with the airbag system that could result in no airbag activation.
