airbag system
Vehicle impact protection
An airbag system is the complete set of components that deploy airbags in a vehicle collision—including sensors, inflators, the fabric bags themselves, and the electronic control unit that coordinates deployment.
The term distinguishes the integrated safety system from individual airbags: The recall affects vehicles with defective airbag systems.
