Deployment In Vehicle

Deployment in the vehicle is proper when the vehicle is to be destroyed or salvaged for component parts. This includes, but is not limited to, the following situations:

1. The vehicle has completed its useful life.

2. The vehicle has been damaged beyond repair in a non-deployment type of accident.

3. The vehicle has been stripped or damaged beyond repair in a theft.

4. The vehicle will be salvaged for component parts to be used on a vehicle with a different Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) as opposed to being rebuilt as the same VIN. This is done to ensure SIR system integrity since only new SIR system components, with the exception of remanufactured parts as noted below, may be used in servicing an SIR equipped vehicle. Remanufactured parts purchased from an authorized General Motors dealer may be used for SIR repairs. Refer to applicable model and year service manual for the in-vehicle passenger inflator module deployment procedure.
