- Airbag housed within the steering wheel
- Deploys during a moderate to severe collision
- Cannot be repaired and must be replaced
The Steering Wheel Air Bag on your vehicle is one of your passenger vehicle's primary airbags. The Steering Wheel Air Bag sits within a center console in the steering wheel and is made to inflate if the vehicle is in a collision to keep the driver from coming in contact with the steering wheel or dashboard.
Your Steering Wheel Air Bag is made to deploy in a moderate to severe collision, typically about the same as driving about 10–12 mph into a solid barrier. While the Steering Wheel Air Bag in your Nissan typically will not deploy outside of an impact or collision, other instances could trigger the Steering Wheel Air Bag such as driving over a speed bump too quickly, hitting a deep pothole, or something similar.
If your vehicle's Steering Wheel Air Bag has been deployed, it is unable to be repaired and you must have it replaced. When replacing your Nissan's airbag, it is imperative that you replace it with a genuine OEM replacement Steering Wheel Air Bag to ensure it functions as it should and inflates in the event of another collision or impact. A non-OEM Steering Wheel Air Bag has an increased chance of deploying incorrectly, which could cause serious injury. If you have to replace your Steering Wheel Air Bag, order a genuine replacement from Nissan Parts for a guaranteed fit.
