Airbag Control Module for Tesla Model 3 — Fitment Guide
Airbag Control Module on the Tesla Model 3 is one of the few items where the specification is not a matter of taste. This fitment guide covers what has to be checked before the part is bought, what the installation actually involves, and what has to be documented for the vehicle to stay insurable and road legal in your market.
Failures here are rarely dramatic. They are a specification nobody had written down, or documentation that arrived after the container shipped — the kind of problem that shows up at the worst possible moment.

What to check before buying
- Fitment — confirm the model year and market version of the Tesla Model 3 before ordering.
- Compliance — IATF 16949 documentation should be issued with the shipment, not after it.
- Material — Magnesium Alloy is the base; substitution is a new approval, not a small change.
- Installation — check whether the vehicle wiring or trim has to come out first.
- Documentation — keep the test report with the vehicle record.
Installation notes
- Disconnect the battery before any wiring work.
- Route cables away from moving parts and heat sources.
- Test the function before the trim goes back on.
- Record the installation date and the part number in the vehicle file.
- Re-check after the first week of use.
Maintenance and inspection
- Visual check every service interval.
- Function test after any electrical work on the vehicle.
- Replace at the first sign of intermittent operation.
- Keep the approved sample part number on the maintenance record.

Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
