Advanced safety features
Airbag networks, structural reinforcements, pedestrian detection, and the role of safety ratings in coverage decisions.
What it is
Beyond seatbelts and frontal airbags, modern cars include side curtain airbags, knee airbags, pedestrian-facing exterior airbags on some models, crumple-zone engineering, and active hood systems.
Why it matters
Crash-test performance and safety equipment can be part of how a vehicle is evaluated, and post-deployment airbag replacement and pyrotechnic-sensor work is a significant repair scope.
Coverage considerations
Owners often check whether their coverage accounts for airbag-system restoration, structural straightening, and the OEM procedures required to declare a vehicle safe after deployment.
