- 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 the main airbags in modern passenger vehicles. 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 help keep the driver protected from hitting 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 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 the Steering Wheel Air Bag on your vehicle has been deployed, you must replace it, as it cannot be repaired. If your Steering Wheel Air Bag needs to be replaced, 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. A non-OEM Steering Wheel Air Bag has an increased chance of deploying incorrectly, which could cause serious injury. If you need 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.
