What are cosmetically repaired Airbag trim covers?
Upon deployment the Airbag splits its trim cover allowing the bag to fully inflate. Unfortunately, there are individuals who crudely repair the trim covers, most often without reinstalling undeployed Airbags or sensors. This is a false or dummy Airbag that leaves the vehicle’s occupants without the safety of an Airbag and extremely vulnerable to serious injury or death in a crash. There have been reports of fatalities in vehicles having cosmetically-repaired Airbag covers.
