Description
Right rear side airbag for PEUGEOT 407. Passenger side.
This genuine-style right rear side airbag is designed for Peugeot 407 owners and professional workshops looking for a direct-fit replacement. Commonly searched by part numbers 9647923680 and 8216CP, this airbag restores the side-impact protection for the rear passenger position. It is a safety-critical component: correct fitment and proper handling are essential to ensure the SRS system functions as intended after installation.
Why Choose This Airbag
Ideal for mechanics and competent DIYers performing body repairs or post-collision replacements. Using the correct part number (9647923680 / 8216CP) increases the chance of a plug-and-play fit and reduces diagnostic time. The unit is suitable for restoring occupant protection after deployment or damage to the original airbag assembly.
Installation (How It Is Replaced)
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Remove interior trim panels and seat components as required to access the rear side-airbag module mounting points.
- Carefully unplug the SRS connector(s). If locking tabs are present, release them gently to avoid damage.
- Unbolt or unclamp the old airbag module and remove it from its mounting channel.
- Fit the replacement airbag in the correct orientation, secure all fasteners to the manufacturer’s instructions, and reconnect the SRS connector.
- Reassemble trim and seats, reconnect the battery and perform an SRS system scan with a diagnostic tool to clear any fault codes and verify system readiness.
Mounting Recommendation
Always follow manufacturer procedures when removing or installing airbag modules. Disconnect the battery and wait before starting work. Protect the connector pins and wiring from contamination and avoid sharp bends. Final system checks and fault clearing should be performed with an SRS-capable diagnostic tool to ensure the airbag and the vehicle restraint system are fully operational.
Most Common Cause Of Failure
Side airbags typically fail or require replacement after vehicle collisions where the airbag has deployed. Other frequent causes include water ingress or corrosion in connector areas (especially after leaks or flood damage), physical damage to the module or harness during previous repairs, and wiring faults that trigger SRS fault codes. The airbag itself rarely degrades without external damage; most replacements are due to deployment or impact-related issues.
