Technician A is correct because STRSW (Squeeze-Type Resistance Spot Welding) is commonly used in automotive repair for installing replacement parts as it creates less heat, reducing the risk of warping or damaging the parts being welded. Technician B is incorrect because placing a seam in a crush zone can indeed affect the timing of airbag deployment, as the structural integrity and deformation characteristics of the vehicle are altered, potentially impacting the sensors' readings and the system's response time.
