I-CAR · April 4, 2025 · Tesla
Summary
Tesla prohibits the repair of any body or structural components located in the vicinity of safety-related components such as airbags, seatbelts, impact sensors, and intrusion beams. Any such damaged components must be replaced rather than repaired to ensure the restraint system functions as designed.
What to do on the job
Replace, rather than repair, any damaged body or structural components that are in the vicinity of safety-related components like impact sensors, airbags, seatbelts, and intrusion beams.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement of structural or body panels instead of repairing them when those panels house or are adjacent to SRS sensors, airbags, seatbelts, or intrusion beams. This is a safety-critical mandate from Tesla to prevent liability and ensure proper restraint system deployment.
