Nissan Primastar Airbag Replacement Parts

The Nissan Primastar ran from 2002 to 2014 as a single generation, sharing its platform with the Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro of the same era. Because it covers one generation without a major structural facelift that changed the airbag system, parts from across that 2002–2014 range are broadly in the same family, but you should always confirm the specific airbag module compatibility with your breaker against your registration, as SRS system variants can differ. Never assume fitment without that check.

Both a 2006 and a 2010 Primastar fall within the same 2002–2014 generation, so they share the same basic platform and interior architecture, which is a good starting point. However, because airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS system is safety-critical and variants can exist within the run, you must confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying. Airbags are single-use safety components, so professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.

For the airbag itself, trim level is unlikely to change which unit is required, as the core safety system is consistent across the Primastar range. However, seat style and upholstery can vary between trim levels, so if you are also replacing a seat-mounted or seat-belt pretensioner component, the surrounding trim may look slightly different to your original. Always confirm the specific airbag module against your registration with the breaker, regardless of trim.

The steering wheel or dashboard-mounted driver airbag is not typically affected by whether the vehicle is a panel van or window van, as the front cabin structure is shared. What does matter is the side the airbag is on — NS (nearside, passenger) or OS (offside, driver) — so make sure you tell your breaker which position you need. Confirm the full module compatibility against your registration before purchasing, and always have airbags fitted by a qualified professional.

Yes, the seating configuration can affect which passenger airbag is fitted, since some Primastar variants came with a single passenger seat while others had a double or crew-cab arrangement with additional seating positions. Tell your breaker exactly how many seats are in your vehicle and which position the airbag covers, so they can match the right unit. Confirm compatibility against your registration, and have the replacement fitted by a qualified technician given the safety-critical nature of airbag components.

Airbags are safety-critical, single-use components — once deployed they cannot be reused, and a faulty or incorrectly fitted airbag can cause serious injury. Professional fitting by a qualified technician with the correct diagnostic equipment to reset the SRS system is strongly recommended. When buying from a breaker, confirm the part against your exact registration and ask whether the airbag is confirmed undeployed and in good condition before purchasing.
