- 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 the main airbags in modern passenger vehicles. 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 the event of 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, it could deploy due to events such as driving too quickly over a speed bump, hitting a very deep pothole, or something similar.
If the Steering Wheel Air Bag on your vehicle has been deployed, it cannot be repaired and must be 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 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, order a genuine replacement from Nissan Parts for a guaranteed fit.
