I hit a deer and my airbag deployed. If I replace the airbag do I have to replace the clock spring also?

Good afternoon.

If your airbag failed, yes you need to replace it. You also need to replace the module and the seat belt assembly as well. They are all required parts for the system to become active again.

Just to make sure we are clear. My airbag did not fail, it deployed the way it should have. I know I have to replace the airbag, but do I need to replace the clock spring also?
