🚨 **CONSUMER ALERT – ADAS SAFETY PARTS** 🚨
PLEASE SHARE, IT JUST MIGHT SAVE A LIFE

This is something every vehicle owner needs to see and understand.

A **major national insurance carrier** is currently attempting to source **used/salvage ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) components** — like radar sensors used for adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance — and install them back onto customer vehicles.

📸 **The attached photo shows the actual total-loss salvage vehicle these “replacement” components are coming from.**

Take a close look:

* Severe structural damage
* Front-end impact affecting sensor mounting areas
* Unknown pre-loss calibration condition
* Components removed from a vehicle deemed unsafe to repair

❗ Here’s the concern:

ADAS systems are **precision safety equipment**. These components rely on:
✅ Exact mounting locations
✅ Undamaged brackets and structure
✅ Precise calibration tolerances measured in millimeters

When a sensor comes off a heavily damaged, total-loss vehicle, there is **no guarantee**:

* The sensor is still within manufacturer tolerances
* Internal components were not compromised
* The system will perform correctly in a future emergency situation

🚫 These are not cosmetic parts. These are **life-safety systems**.

💡 At Byrd’s Body Shop, we follow **OEM repair procedures** — period.
If the manufacturer requires new components or cannot validate reuse, we will not install salvage ADAS parts just to meet an insurance cost target.

👉 **Consumers have the right to:**

* Safe, proper repairs
* OEM-compliant parts and procedures
* Full transparency in the repair process

If your insurance company suggests using recycled or salvage ADAS components, **ask questions**:
🔹 What does the manufacturer require?
🔹 Can this part be safely reused?
🔹 Will it calibrate properly and function as designed?

Your safety is not negotiable.

🚨 **BIG NEWS FOR ILLINOIS DRIVERS** 🚨

A major consumer protection bill just moved forward in Illinois — giving YOU more power in your insurance claim.

👉 The amended **Right-to-Appraisal Bill (HB 4160)** passed the Senate and would require insurance policies to include a way for customers to challenge the **amount of loss** when there’s a dispute. [\[Amended Il...riven News\]](https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2026/05/29/amended-illinois-right-to-appraisal-bill-passed-by-senate-insurance-committee/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSGWotleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFzZUhRaHdKTnpXaElScTRZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHuImKbc37W8DHyqQ17yR77yrNRVKnfG6wbTSa1ydUJbxtBBD85mGskq1D0L7_aem_HXvAIaKHsvp8l0AmrB30xg)

💡 **What this means for you:**
If you ever disagree with what the insurance company says your repair is worth, you may have the legal right to trigger an **independent appraisal process** — not just accept their number.

This creates a more balanced playing field between insurance companies and vehicle owners, especially when proper repairs and costs are in question.

⚖️ The appraisal process would involve:
• Each side selecting an appraiser
• A neutral umpire if needed
• A binding decision on the value of the loss [\[Amended Il...riven News\]](https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2026/05/29/amended-illinois-right-to-appraisal-bill-passed-by-senate-insurance-committee/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSGWotleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFzZUhRaHdKTnpXaElScTRZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHuImKbc37W8DHyqQ17yR77yrNRVKnfG6wbTSa1ydUJbxtBBD85mGskq1D0L7_aem_HXvAIaKHsvp8l0AmrB30xg)

📅 If finalized, this would apply to policies starting **July 1, 2027**. [\[Amended Il...riven News\]](https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2026/05/29/amended-illinois-right-to-appraisal-bill-passed-by-senate-insurance-committee/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSGWotleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFzZUhRaHdKTnpXaElScTRZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHuImKbc37W8DHyqQ17yR77yrNRVKnfG6wbTSa1ydUJbxtBBD85mGskq1D0L7_aem_HXvAIaKHsvp8l0AmrB30xg)
