- Airbag housed within the steering wheel
- Deploys during a moderate to severe collision
- Cannot be repaired and must be replaced
Your Nissan's Steering Wheel Air Bag is one of the primary airbags in a passenger vehicle. The Steering Wheel Air Bag is inside the center of the steering wheel and inflates during an impact or collision to help protect the driver from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard.
The Steering Wheel Air Bag on your vehicle is designed to inflate 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 typically requires an impact or collision to trigger inflation, it could deploy due to events such as driving too quickly over a speed bump, hitting a very deep pothole, or something similar.
If your vehicle's Steering Wheel Air Bag has been deployed, you must replace it, as it cannot be repaired. When replacing your Nissan's airbag, it is essential to replace it with an OEM replacement one to ensure it functions as it should and inflates in the event of another collision or impact. 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 your Steering Wheel Air Bag needs to be replaced, order a genuine replacement from Nissan Parts for a guaranteed fit.
