Description
Left Front Side Seat Airbag PEUGEOT 407
Driver’s Seat
Color HZD- – BLACK MISTRAL
This left front side seat airbag is designed for the Peugeot 407 driver’s seat and is identified by OE reference 96625550ZD. It is a safety-critical interior component manufactured to integrate with the vehicle’s restraint system and seat structure. Commonly sought under part numbers such as 96625550ZD, 8216QK or NFP, this unit replaces a deployed or damaged side airbag and restores side-impact protection for the occupant.
Key Features
High-priority safety component for side-impact protection. Direct-fit for Peugeot 407 seating assemblies with original connector interfaces. Color designation: Black Mistral (HZD) to match factory seat upholstery. Designed to work with seat belt pretensioners and side impact sensors as part of the vehicle’s overall airbag system.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën/Peugeot)

Fitment And Application
This module is intended for the left/front side seat of Peugeot 407 models. It fits standard factory seats where the original equipment airbag is mounted inside the seatback. Technicians and competent DIYers commonly search by the OE number 96625550ZD to confirm compatibility. Always verify physical connector, mounting points and seat trim color before installation.
Installation Recommendations
- Ensure Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle battery negative terminal and wait at least 10 minutes before beginning work to reduce the risk of accidental deployment.
- Handle With Care: Carry and store the airbag module with the trim side facing up and the inflator away from your body. Do not strike, drop or expose the unit to heat or open flame.
- Electrical Connection: Use original connectors; inspect wiring and connectors for corrosion or damage. Make sure connectors are fully engaged and locking clips are intact.
- Seat Disassembly: Remove the seat from the vehicle only if required by access. Follow vehicle manufacturer instructions for seat removal and reinstallation; avoid stretching or damaging seat occupancy sensor wiring.
- Final Checks: After installation and battery reconnection, check the airbag warning lamp on the instrument cluster. A persistent fault indication requires diagnosis with an appropriate OBD/airbag scanner.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Airbags are not wear items but can fail or become non-functional for several common reasons: deployment in a previous collision, electrical faults such as damaged wiring or corroded connectors, water ingress from seat or floor moisture, and improper prior repairs or tampering. Fault codes typically point to wiring, connector resistance, or sensor communication issues rather than the airbag cushion itself.
Practical Notes For Mechanics And DIYers
Because the part is safety-critical, replace only with the correct-fit module and follow statutory and manufacturer procedures for disposal of deployed airbag components. If the airbag warning lamp remains on after fitment, perform a diagnostic read of the SRS system to clear codes and confirm circuit integrity. Keep part numbers handy (96625550ZD, 8216QK) — many searches and orders are made using these codes.
Replacing the driver’s side seat airbag restores occupant protection in side-impact events and ensures the restraint system functions as designed. Always observe safe handling and installation practices to protect both the technician and vehicle occupants.
