I-CAR · April 27, 2023 · Tesla
Summary
Tesla's official guidelines state that supplemental restraint system (SRS) circuits, airbag sensors, and seat sensors are not repairable by standard collision repair technicians. Any necessary repairs to these components must be referred to a Tesla Service Center, Regional Technical Specialist (RTS), or Field Technical Specialist (FTS).
What to do on the job
Do not attempt to repair any Tesla SRS wiring, airbag sensors, or seat sensors; instead, contact Tesla Collision Repair for guidance and refer these repairs to an authorized Tesla specialist.
How to use it
Use this document to justify sublet operations or referrals to Tesla Service Centers for any SRS wiring or sensor damage. It serves as official documentation that independent collision technicians are restricted from repairing Tesla restraint circuits, supporting the necessity of specialized Tesla sublet charges on the estimate.
