Our guide covers 7 model years for the Ford Mustang (2016–2025) but only 3 for the Nissan Altima (2016–2025), so the Ford Mustang data reflects a broader range of generations.

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.
