Used Hyundai i40 Steering Wheel Airbag

Yes, the Hyundai i40 was fitted with a steering wheel airbag as standard across its production run from 2011 to 2019 in the UK. It is a safety-critical, single-use component, so once deployed it must be replaced — and professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.

The i40 ran as a single generation throughout its UK lifespan (2011–2019), but it received a facelift around 2015 which brought interior revisions that can affect trim-related components. Because the airbag module must be compatible with the receiving car's specific SRS system, you should confirm with the breaker that the part matches your exact registration before buying.

The i40 was sold in the UK in trim levels including Classic, Active, Style, and Premium, and interior specification did vary between them. In practice, the steering wheel airbag should be confirmed against your car's specific SRS system regardless of trim, so provide your registration to the breaker and ask them to verify compatibility directly.

The steering wheel airbag is an interior component and is not affected by body style — the i40 was offered in both saloon and estate (tourer) variants in the UK, but this distinction does not change which airbag module was fitted. What matters more is the generation, any facelift changes, and compatibility with your car's SRS system, so confirm against your registration with the breaker.

A used steering wheel airbag that has never been deployed can legally and practically be refitted, but airbags are safety-critical components and professional installation is strongly recommended — incorrect fitting can cause the airbag to fail to deploy or to deploy unexpectedly. You should also ensure the breaker confirms the module is compatible with your vehicle's specific SRS control unit, as mismatched systems can cause faults or non-deployment in a collision.

Give the breaker your full vehicle registration, as this lets them confirm the exact SRS system fitted to your car and whether the used airbag module they have is a match. It is also worth noting your trim level and whether your car is a pre-facelift (2011–2014) or post-facelift (2015–2019) model, as interior parts can differ across that boundary.
