Frequently Asked Questions
Does CARFAX record airbag deployments?
Yes, official CARFAX reports record every airbag deployment in detail. This information is collected from official police accident reports, insurance companies that describe the damage, and records from repair shops that have performed repairs or replaced components on the vehicle.
Is it possible to hide the opening of airbags?
Cosmetic restoration of the dashboard and steering wheel to conceal missing airbags is a common scam in reselling crashed cars. However, airbag deployments are recorded in CARFAX's independent database directly from the accident source, and these records cannot be removed or corrected by dealers.
How do I know if a car from the USA has deployable airbags?
The safest way is to perform a VIN check on our website and order an original CARFAX report. In the Accident History section, you will find a detailed report of each recorded event, including a specification of which airbags were deployed in the collision.
