When You Need a Replacement Airbag
An airbag only works once. Replace the module and have the full restraint system checked if any of these apply.
The airbag has deployed
A deployed airbag cannot be repacked or reused. The module must be replaced, along with any crash sensors and seat belt pretensioners that fired.
The SRS warning light stays on
A steady airbag light means the system has stored a fault and may not deploy. Have the codes read to find out whether the module, clockspring or a sensor is at fault.
The cover is cut, cracked or loose
A damaged steering wheel or dash cover can change how the bag opens. Covers are molded to the module, so the unit is replaced as one piece.
Water or flood damage
Moisture corrodes the inflator connector and wiring. A module from a flooded vehicle should not be trusted.
An open safety recall
Check your VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls first. Recalled inflators are replaced free by a dealer, so you do not need to buy one.

Why Buy Your Used Airbag From Us
Airbag modules are specific to the year, trim and even interior color. Our process is built to get the exact OEM match the first time.
Matched by VIN and part number
We check the part number on your original airbag module against your VIN, trim color and connector before quoting, so the replacement plugs in and sits flush.
See your airbag before it ships
After you order, the supplier photographs the actual airbag once it is pulled. Nothing ships until you approve those photos.
Clear advice on installation
Airbags are part of the supplemental restraint system. We recommend installation by a qualified technician, who can also clear crash data and confirm the SRS light is off.
30-day parts warranty
Every used airbag includes a 30-day parts warranty. If it arrives damaged or incorrect, we replace it or refund you.

Used Airbag Buying Guide
Know which part you need before you buy.
| Airbag type | Where it sits | Replace it when | What to match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver airbag | In the steering wheel hub | It has deployed or the cover is damaged | Part number, trim color and connector, single or dual stage |
| Passenger airbag | In the dashboard above the glove box | It has deployed, often with dash panel damage | Part number and model year range |
| Side and curtain airbags | In the seat bolster or along the roof rail | They have deployed in a side impact or rollover | Left or right side, seat or roof location and part number |
Match the part number
Read the label on your old module. Airbags that look alike can use different inflators. Airbag compatibility guide
Know what else to replace
After a deployment, sensors, the clockspring and the SRS module often need attention too. Used airbag buyer’s guide

How much does a used airbag cost?
Used airbag prices vary with the vehicle, the airbag position, single or dual stage design, trim color and availability. A used OEM airbag usually costs up to 70% less than a new one from a dealer, and you get 10% off when you order by phone. The fastest way to an exact price is a free quote using your VIN.
Are used airbags safe?
A used airbag is safe when it is an undeployed OEM module that matches your vehicle’s part number, has no water damage and is not under recall. It is the same part the factory installed. Have a qualified technician fit it and confirm the SRS light goes out. Read are used airbags safe for the full checklist.
How do I find the correct airbag for my vehicle?
Use the part number printed on the label of your original module together with your VIN. Year, trim level, interior color and single or dual stage inflators all matter. Our airbag compatibility guide shows where to find each number.
Is it legal to install a used airbag?
In most states it is legal to install a used OEM airbag that has never deployed. Some states set extra rules for sellers and repair shops, so ask your installer or insurer what applies where you live.
What else needs replacing after an airbag deploys?
Usually more than the bag. Crash sensors, seat belt pretensioners, the clockspring and the SRS control module may need to be replaced or reset. A shop with an SRS-capable scan tool can tell you exactly what your vehicle needs.
Can I install a used airbag myself?
We recommend a qualified technician. The battery must be disconnected and the system allowed to discharge before any airbag work, and the SRS light must be checked afterward. An airbag that is handled or wired incorrectly can deploy or fail to deploy.
Do your used airbags come with a warranty?
Yes. Every used airbag comes with a 30-day parts-only warranty. Labor costs are not covered. Full terms are in our warranty policy.
Do you ship used airbags across the United States?
Yes. Airbags ship by parcel carrier to the billing address on your card, with tracking details emailed within 2 days of shipment. See the shipping policy for details.
