Hyundai i40 Curtain Airbag Replacement Parts

The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation (2011–2015 in the UK, with a facelift around 2014–2015), so there is no cross-generation fitment concern in the way there would be with a model that ran across two distinct generations. That said, facelift models can carry revised SRS system configurations, so if your car sits near that 2014–2015 boundary you should confirm airbag module compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Curtain airbags are safety-critical single-use components and must be fitted by a qualified professional.

The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK in both saloon and estate (Tourer) body styles, and these have different rooflines and body structures, so curtain airbags are not interchangeable between them. Always tell the breaker which body style your car is when asking for a quote. Curtain airbags are safety-critical and must be installed by a qualified technician.

Trim level — such as Classic, Active, Style, or Premium — does not typically change the curtain airbag itself, as the airbag is determined primarily by body style and side (nearside or offside) rather than by trim. However, confirm with the breaker against your registration that no trim-specific SRS system variant affects compatibility, as this is something only they can verify against the actual part. Curtain airbags are safety-critical single-use components and professional fitting is strongly recommended.

Yes, side matters significantly: nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) curtain airbags are handed and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, always specify whether you need the nearside or offside curtain airbag for your i40. These are safety-critical parts and must be fitted by a qualified professional.

Yes, curtain airbags were fitted to the Hyundai i40 as standard across its UK production run (2011–2015), covering both the saloon and estate (Tourer) body styles. They run along the roofline on each side of the cabin and deploy to protect occupants in a side-impact or rollover event. Because these are safety-critical, single-use components, always have them sourced from a reputable breaker and fitted by a qualified technician.

If the curtain airbag did not deploy in the accident it may appear physically intact, but it could have been stressed or partially activated in ways that are not visible, and it must be inspected by a qualified technician before any decision is made about reuse. In practice, many repair specialists will recommend replacing any airbag that was present in a vehicle involved in a significant impact, even if it did not fire. Curtain airbags are safety-critical single-use components, and once deployed they cannot be reused under any circumstances — a used replacement from a breaker is the correct route for a deployed unit, but always have a professional make the call on an undeployed one.
