My curtain airbags deployed!

Thanks

 

We’re you at greater than a 15 degree angle?

 

I’d take it to a body shop. Should of take the fuses out while off-roading

 

There must be more to the story. They don’t just go off for no reason. Possibly some airtime?

 

I've seen airbags (steering wheel and passenger side dash in a 1999 Ranger) deploy from hitting the bump stops extremely hard.

 

probably shouldn't have insurance cover that...

 

I’m

 

Nope no airtime I was going about 45mph tho

 

Do the 3rd Gens have the RSCA Off switch?

 

No sadly this was removed.

OP The seat belts likely retracted as well during this event, you may need to replace the entire retractors.

 

Probably why they went off. I know 2nd gens have the switch to disable them. Does the 3rd gen?

 

Well isn’t that nice. Why the hell would you remove that on a truck that a lot off road??? Thanks Toyota.

 

Probably for liability issues. Someone hits the switch (intentionally or not) and gets into an accident and gets hurt or killed.

 

Ooof

times 4?

 

Just front retractors if they did deploy, which they should have because the truck was convinced it was in a rollover.

BONUS TIME

The Airbag SRS ECU has to be replaced as well, they are one fire and done.

 

The Colorado's are known for this, even have a recall for it. This usually locks down the air bag module and discharges the pre-tensioner on the belts. There are places you can ship off to that can rebuild the tensioner and reset the module.

 

Glad I didn’t even consider a 3rd gen.

 

Do you have an “RSC off” button like the second gens have? Or did Toyota stop putting those in?

 

The side curtain bags are front/rear in one assembly, so x2. $3k is still $3k.

 

This is NOT going to buff right out.
