I-CAR SRS Repairability Summit - SRS Inspection Feedback Form: UPDATE
I-CAR · May 14, 2025
Summary
This article details the outcomes of the I-CAR SRS Repairability Summit, which established an industry-wide initiative to collect data on supplemental restraint system (SRS) inspections. Collision repairers are encouraged to submit their SRS inspection findings to a centralized database to help improve OEM repair procedures, RTS articles, and future I-CAR training courses.
What to do on the job
Submit documented SRS inspection findings—including hidden damage, collapsed steering columns, wiring damage, and seatbelt damage—using the I-CAR SRS Inspection Feedback Form, ensuring all personal customer information is excluded.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of performing comprehensive SRS inspections as recommended or required by OEMs. It serves as industry-vetted proof that SRS inspections frequently uncover hidden, critical safety defects (such as collapsed steering columns or damaged wiring outside the impact zone), supporting the labor and time required to perform these safety checks on estimates and supplements.
