⚠️ Why Replacement Is Necessary
A damaged pedestrian impact sensor may not show visible external signs, especially after minor front-end collisions. However, internal sensor failure can cause:
Persistent safety warnings on the instrument cluster
Incomplete or disabled pedestrian protection logic
Failed inspections or reduced resale value
Repeat labor costs if overlooked during bumper repairs
Replacing the sensor with the correct OEM-spec component ensures system integrity and avoids costly rework.
