Occupant-restraint evidence
What should be preserved when an airbag or SRS warning returns?
Document the warning, seat occupancy and position, buckle state, startup conditions, restraint codes, calibration results, recall lookup, and each sensor, buckle, pretensioner, module, wiring, or programming repair. A warning requires prompt safety attention, but it does not identify the failed component by itself.
California law is fact-specific. Read the current Civil Code section 1793.2 and section 1793.22, then compare the statute with the written warranty and repair file.
