Description
Dashboard Airbag, Passenger Airbag For Peugeot 407
This passenger dashboard airbag is designed specifically for the Peugeot 407 and is an essential component of the SRS safety system. It protects the front-seat passenger in the event of a qualifying frontal impact by rapidly inflating to cushion and reduce the risk of injury. The part is commonly searched by part numbers 9644588880 and 8216CK, making it easy to locate for fast replacement.
Features And Function
The module contains the folded airbag cushion and the pyrotechnic inflator (gas generator) integrated into a single dashboard-mounted assembly. When the airbag control unit detects a severe frontal collision, it triggers the inflator to deploy the cushion in milliseconds. Proper mechanical fixation and correct electrical connection to the SRS wiring are critical for reliable operation. This unit is intended for the front passenger position (dashboard).

Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Deployment In A Collision: Airbags Are Single-Use Components — Once Deployed They Must Be Replaced.
- Electrical Faults Or Connector Damage: Corrosion, Loose Connections Or Wire Damage Can Prevent Proper Deployment And Trigger The SRS Warning Light.
- Water Ingress Or Interior Damage: Leaks Into The Dashboard Area Can Damage The Module Or Connectors.
- Previous Improper Repairs: Nonstandard Repairs After An Accident Can Compromise The Unit.
- Age-Related Degradation: Although Designed For Long Service Life, Extreme Environmental Conditions Can Affect Wiring And Connectors.
Notes For Mechanics And DIY Enthusiasts
Airbag replacement is safety-critical work. While experienced technicians and competent DIYers can perform the mechanical replacement, the installation must preserve SRS integrity: correct connectors, secure mounting, and verification of the airbag system status with a diagnostic tool. Use the exact part numbers when ordering to ensure correct fitment (9644588880, 8216CK). There is no routine scheduled replacement for airbags; replacement is normally required after deployment or when the unit or its electrical connection is damaged.
