- 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 Nissan is one of your passenger vehicle's primary airbags. The Steering Wheel Air Bag is inside the center of the steering wheel and is designed to inflate in the event of an impact to keep the driver from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard.
Your Steering Wheel Air Bag is made to deploy in the case of a severe to moderate collision, typically the equivalent of the vehicle hitting a solid barrier at around 10–12 miles per hour. While your Nissan's Steering Wheel Air Bag usually won't inflate outside of a collision or impact, it could deploy due to events such as hitting a deep pothole, driving over a speed bump at very high speeds, or something similar.
If your vehicle's Steering Wheel Air Bag has been deployed, you must replace it, as it cannot be repaired. If you need to replace the Steering Wheel Air Bag, it is essential to replace it with an OEM replacement one to ensure it inflates properly in the case of another impact or collision. Choosing to install a non-OEM Steering Wheel Air Bag can potentially cause the airbag to have issues deploying, potentially causing the risk of serious injury. If you have to replace your Steering Wheel Air Bag, it's best to order a genuine OEM replacement from Nissan Parts to guarantee it will fit your vehicle.
