Nissan NP300 Steering Wheel Airbag Replacement Parts

Yes, the Nissan NP300 Navara was fitted with a steering wheel airbag on higher specification trim levels, so whether your truck has one depends on the trim it left the factory with. Lower or more basic fleet-spec variants may not have had an airbag at all, so it is worth checking your original build spec or the steering wheel itself before ordering. If your truck was not originally fitted with an airbag, the SRS system and steering wheel will not be set up to accept one, and fitting a used unit would not be straightforward or safe.

The NP300 Navara in the UK runs as a single generation introduced around 2016, so a 2017 and a 2020 unit are from the same generation and trim-matched airbags are more likely to be compatible than parts crossing a model change. That said, airbag modules must be compatible with the specific SRS control unit fitted to your vehicle, and this is something you must confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Airbags are safety-critical single-use components, so professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.

Yes, trim level matters because the steering wheel and airbag assembly can differ between grades — the NP300 Navara was sold in the UK in trims including Visia, Acenta, N-Guard, and Tekna, and higher trims often feature a different multifunction steering wheel with a different airbag module. Always source a unit from the same trim level as your vehicle, or at minimum confirm with the breaker that the part number and SRS compatibility match your registration. Cosmetic differences such as the stitching, centre pad finish, or button layout may also vary between trims even if the airbag itself physically fits.

Steering wheel airbags are safety-critical components and working on SRS systems without proper training and equipment carries a serious risk of accidental deployment, which can cause severe injury. In the UK, fitting or working on airbag systems is strongly recommended to be carried out by a qualified technician with the appropriate diagnostic equipment to reset the SRS system correctly. A used airbag should also only be sourced from a vehicle where it was never deployed, as airbags are single-use items.

The steering wheel airbag itself is housed in the steering column area and is not directly affected by whether your NP300 is a King Cab or Double Cab body style. What matters most for compatibility is the generation and trim level of the vehicle the donor part came from. However, always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker, as SRS system variants can differ in ways that are not always obvious from body style alone.

An SRS warning light after an impact does not necessarily mean the steering wheel airbag has deployed; the fault could lie with a sensor, the clock spring, the SRS control unit, or a seat belt pretensioner rather than the airbag module itself. Before buying any used airbag, have the fault codes read by a qualified technician to identify exactly which component has triggered the light. If the airbag did deploy, a replacement used unit must be confirmed compatible with your specific SRS system by the breaker against your registration, and professional fitting is essential.
