The Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) system is a tool that provides access to vehicle crash and pre-crash data stored in the airbag control modules of late model passenger vehicles. Use the following link to verify whether your vehicle is supported: Vehicle Coverage List.
Kia and Hyundai vehicles (2012 or newer) and all Tesla models are also downloadable.
CDR systems provide collision data such as…
- Speed prior to impact
- Speed at impact
- Crash severity data (DeltaV)
- Braking
- Seatbelt usage
- Steering angle
As an insurance representative this will assist with…
- Shortening the claim cycle time
- Accurate, defensible determinations on liability
- Customer service
- Fraud
