Why does the Honda Pilot air bag cost more?

A used Honda Pilot air bag carries a median asking price of $346, which is 28% higher than the BMW X5 at $250. Supply also plays a role: BMW X5 has 2,598 priced listings versus 1,102 for Honda Pilot, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The BMW X5 average ($301) runs 20% above its median ($250), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 6 model years for the BMW X5 (2015–2025) but only 4 for the Honda Pilot (2017–2025), so the BMW X5 data reflects a broader range of generations.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the BMW X5 is 29% cheaper ($249 vs $350) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used air bag

  • Verify that the module has never been deployed, repacked, or listed under active safety recalls by cross-referencing the OEM part number and donor vehicle VIN.
  • Match interior trim color codes, steering wheel or dash mounting points, and single-stage vs. dual-stage inflator designs across vehicle trim levels.
  • Inspect the module backing, clock spring connector housing, and mounting tabs for heat damage, hairline cracks, or tampered wiring harness splices.
  • Ensure shipping complies with hazardous material regulations and verify that local laws permit installing salvaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components.
