How many times are airbags designed to be used?

I haven’t had to worry about this yet, but something I think about a lot is what happens to airbags after you’re in a car accident. Can you use them again? Do they get replaced? Airbags are designed to be used how many times?

Great question, and it’s good to hear you’ve never needed to find out for yourself! Airbags are designed to be used one time and one time only. Once an airbag has deployed, it will need to be replaced, which a mechanic can take care of for you.
Replacing airbags can be expensive and cost as much as $1,000 to $2,000 per airbag to replace, but it’s worth it to protect you and your passengers.
