Modern vehicles are fitted with an array of airbags, strategically placed all around a vehicle to keep the driver safe in the event of a collision. If you own or operate a fleet or commercial truck, you likely don’t think about your airbags that often, but you definitely want them there when you need them. Here’s a shout out to the airbag, from T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL.
We take airbags for granted today, but it took a lot of development over several decades before airbags were put into use effectively. Originally patented in 1919, airbags wouldn’t be viably tested until the 50s and 60s - they finally made their way into widespread use in the 80s and 90s and have only become extremely effective in the past several years.
Airbags rely on a complex system of sensors and even explosives to work correctly. If one of your vehicles has an airbag warning light on, it’s important to have it looked at. You definitely want them to go off in the event they are needed and stay put when you don’t.
No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our technicians have you covered. For the best fleet and commercial service shop in Tampa, FL, call or stop by T&A Truck Specialist, Inc today.
