Crash Data Retrieval

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
