Buick Enclave: Replacing Airbag System Parts after a Crash

Buick Enclave 2008-2017 Owners Manual / Seats and Restraints / Airbag System / Replacing Airbag System Parts after a Crash

Warning icon for inspecting and replacing airbag system parts after a crashWARNING
A crash can damage the airbag systems in the vehicle.

► A damaged airbag system may not work correctly and may fail to protect the driver or passengers in a future crash. This could result in serious injury or death.

To help make sure the airbag systems are working properly after a crash, have the systems inspected as soon as possible and replace any damaged or required parts without delay.

If an airbag inflates, certain airbag system parts must be replaced. Airbag deployment is a major event, and the affected components are not intended to be reused after inflation.

See your dealer for service.

If the airbag readiness light stays on after the Buick Enclave is started, or if it comes on while driving, the airbag system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light for more information.
