Mercedes-Benz EQB Curtain Airbag Replacement Parts

Yes, the EQB is fitted with curtain airbags as standard across its range — they run along the roofline on each side of the cabin to protect occupants in a side-impact or rollover. Because the EQB is a pure electric vehicle, drivetrain layout makes no difference here; all variants were built with curtain airbags regardless of whether they are 250, 300 4MATIC, or 350 4MATIC models.

The Mercedes-Benz EQB (X243) launched in the UK in 2022 and, as of the time of writing, sits within a single generation with no confirmed major structural facelift that would change curtain airbag fitment — so a 2022-sourced unit may well physically correspond to a 2024 car. However, because airbags are safety-critical components, you should confirm compatibility of the specific module against your registration with the breaker before purchasing, as SRS system variants can differ across build dates even within the same generation.

Curtain airbag fitment on the EQB is not determined by trim level — the airbag itself sits in the roofline and is not tied to the seat or interior styling differences between Sport, Progressive, and AMG Line grades. The side you need (nearside/NS or offside/OS) and your door count (the EQB is available as a 5-seat or 7-seat variant, which affects the roofline length) are the details that matter, so make sure you confirm both with the breaker.

Yes, this is worth raising with your breaker — the 7-seat EQB has a longer roofline section to cover the third row, which may mean the curtain airbag differs in size or design compared with the standard 5-seat version. Always quote your exact variant and registration to the breaker so they can match the correct unit to your car.

A curtain airbag that has never been deployed and comes from a car where the SRS system shows no fault history can be sourced from a breaker, but fitting must be carried out by a qualified professional — curtain airbags are safety-critical and incorrect installation puts occupants at serious risk. Like all airbags, they are single-use devices, so any unit that has previously fired cannot be reused. Always ask the breaker to confirm the airbag module is compatible with your specific SRS system against your registration before buying.

In UK terms, the nearside (NS) is the passenger side (left when sitting in the car), and the offside (OS) is the driver's side (right). Curtain airbags are side-specific, so tell your breaker clearly which side you need along with your registration, as fitting the wrong side is not possible and a professional installer will need to verify the correct part before the job goes ahead.
