- 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 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 keep the driver from coming in contact with the dashboard or the steering wheel.
Your Steering Wheel Air Bag is made to deploy in a moderate to severe collision, usually the equivalent of your vehicle hitting a solid wall at about 10–12 mph. 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 your Steering Wheel Air Bag has been deployed, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced. When replacing your Nissan's airbag, it is essential to replace it with an OEM replacement one 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, 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.
