Description
Dashboard passenger airbag for Peugeot 407.
This passenger-side dashboard airbag is intended as a direct replacement for the factory-fitted unit in Peugeot 407 models. It is a safety-critical component designed to deploy in the event of a frontal collision to reduce injury to the front-seat passenger. Customers and workshop professionals commonly search for this part by OE numbers 9644588880 and 8216CK—use these codes to confirm fitment with the vehicle’s original equipment references.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Peugeot (Stellantis)
- Model: Peugeot 407
- Product Codes: 9644588880, 8216CK
- Additional Numbers: NFP
Compatibility: Fits Peugeot 407 range (saloon, estate/SW, coupe) where the vehicle’s original part numbers match the codes listed above. Always verify the OE numbers recorded for the vehicle before ordering to ensure correct application.
Installation Recommendations
- Work Only With The Battery Disconnected: Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10–15 minutes to allow the SRS system capacitors to discharge before starting work.
- Follow Proper Disassembly Sequence: Remove the glovebox or lower dash trim as required to access the airbag module. Keep trim and fasteners organized for reassembly.
- Handle With Care: Avoid dropping or striking the airbag module. Do not expose connectors to moisture or contaminants during installation.
- Disconnect Electrical Connectors Safely: Release locking tabs gently and avoid pulling on wiring. Inspect connectors and wiring for corrosion or damage and repair if necessary.
- Tightening And Orientation: Fit the module so it sits flush in the dash and secure fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. If torque values are not known, consult official service literature for the exact figures.
- System Check After Installation: Reconnect the battery and use a diagnostic scanner to run the SRS system check and clear any stored fault codes. Confirm that the airbag warning lamp extinguishes after the system self-test.
- Professional Equipment Recommended: While an experienced DIYer can replace an airbag with the correct precautions, a calibrated diagnostic tool and access to manufacturer service information significantly reduce the risk of incorrect installation.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Deployment In A Collision: The most common reason for replacement is deployment after a crash; deployed airbags must be replaced.
- Electrical Problems: Corroded or damaged connectors and wiring faults in the SRS circuit can trigger faults or prevent proper deployment.
- Water Ingress: Leaks that allow moisture into the dash area can corrode connectors or damage the module.
- Age And Environmental Stress: Long-term exposure to heat, humidity or contaminants can degrade components, leading to malfunction or warning lights.
- Previous Repairs Or Tampering: Improper removal or prior repairs that disturbed wiring or connectors may cause intermittent faults.
Note: Airbags are safety-critical components. Replace the unit when deployment has occurred or when SRS diagnostics indicate a confirmed fault. Use OE part numbers 9644588880 and 8216CK to ensure correct fitment for Peugeot 407 applications.
