- 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 made to inflate if the vehicle is in a collision to help keep the driver protected from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard.
The Steering Wheel Air Bag is designed to deploy in the case of a severe to moderate collision, usually the equivalent of your vehicle hitting a solid wall at about 10–12 mph. Though your vehicle's Steering Wheel Air Bag usually won't inflate outside of a collision or impact, it could deploy due to events such as driving over a speed bump too quickly, hitting a deep pothole, or something similar.
If the Steering Wheel Air Bag on your vehicle has been deployed, you must replace it, as it cannot be repaired. When replacing your Nissan's airbag, it is crucial to replace it with a genuine OEM replacement airbag to ensure it deploys properly in the event of another collision. Choosing to install a non-OEM Steering Wheel Air Bag can potentially cause the airbag to have issues deploying, causing risk of serious injury. If you have to replace your Steering Wheel Air Bag, make sure it's guaranteed to fit your vehicle by ordering your OEM replacement airbag from Nissan Parts.
