A dangerous insurance scam could turn your car into a time bomb on four wheels. Some crooked body shops when repairing deployed airbags will simply fill this cavity with junk and not replace the bag. They then charge the insurance company up to 2000 dollars for the repair, which never took place. 

When buying a pre-owned vehicle that is equipped with airbags you should take it to a reputable mechanic and have the airbags checked. Don’t try and check the airbag yourself. This could result in injury to the bag or to you. 

 This tiny bit of prevention could save your life or the life of your passenger.
