Some aftermarket parts may be fine. Others may not. But Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are designed for your vehicle and its optimal performance. While salvaged parts may save you money in the short run, in some instances the consequences can be disastrous.

Both salvaged (airbag) modules and non-OEM (airbag) modules have been touted as less expensive alternatives than OEM airbags. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there are potential problems with both of these alternative replacement modules. For a salvaged (airbag) module to be viable for use in repairs, it is first necessary to precisely match the make, model and model year of the salvaged vehicle with the vehicle being repaired. For a non-OEM (airbag) module to have the same crash performance as the original, the two modules must have exactly the same chemicals that generate the gas, in exactly the same quantity and formulation.6
