Steering Wheel Airbag for Peugeot 308 T7 – Driver Side
High-quality steering wheel airbag designed for Peugeot 308 T7 vehicles. This driver-side airbag (part numbers 96810154ZD, 4112LA) is suitable for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who need a direct-replacement safety component. Manufactured under the Stellantis/Peugeot umbrella, the unit restores occupant protection and steering-wheel functionality after an airbag deployment or damage.
Function And Benefits
The steering wheel airbag is a primary restraint component that deploys in frontal collisions to reduce the risk of head and chest injuries. This unit is designed to integrate with the vehicle’s SRS system, driver airbag wiring, and steering wheel controls. Replacing a failed or deployed airbag ensures compliance with original safety performance and maintains proper operation of the steering wheel functions.
Fitment And Replacement
- Compatible Model: Peugeot 308 T7 (Driver Side).
- Commonly Searched Product Codes: 96810154ZD, 4112LA. Include these codes in searches to find the exact match.
- Replacement Overview: Disconnect the battery and wait the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 10–15 minutes) before starting work. Remove the steering wheel airbag module retaining screws (accessed from the back of the wheel) or release the locking clips depending on the steering wheel design. Carefully unplug the airbag connector(s) using the locking tab, remove the module, and fit the replacement unit. Ensure connectors are fully engaged and routing is correct before reassembly. Torque the steering wheel fasteners to manufacturer specifications and reconnect the battery.

- Use Correct Tools: Use appropriate Torx/Hex sockets to access rear steering wheel fasteners. Avoid prying on the airbag pad surface.
- Follow Torque And Alignment Specs: Refit the steering wheel to the column in the correct alignment and torque bolts to the manufacturer’s specification to avoid steering or airbag faults.
- Check Connector Locks: Ensure all SRS connectors and safety locking tabs are engaged and not damaged. Replace any connector with corrosion or broken locks.
- Post-Installation Check: After reconnection, perform the vehicle’s SRS self-check (turn ignition on and confirm airbag warning lamp behavior) per workshop routine.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Steering wheel airbags typically require replacement after deployment in a collision. Other common reasons for replacement include physical damage to the airbag pad from impact or interior repairs, water ingress or corrosion in the connector area, and electrical faults from improper previous repairs. Incorrect removal or rough handling can also damage the squib connector or pyrotechnic module, rendering the unit inoperative.
Who Should Fit This Part
Recommended For Experienced Mechanics And Qualified DIYers: Replacing an airbag involves safety-critical procedures. Technically skilled individuals who follow safety protocols and have access to workshop tools can perform the swap. If in doubt, have the replacement performed by a qualified workshop.
