Saab Air Bag Module - Genuine Saab 5011762

Product Information

An air bag module is the complete safety unit that houses the airbag cushion, inflator, and housing, typically located in the steering wheel, dashboard, side panels, or seats. In the event of a collision, the inflator rapidly releases gas to fill the cushion within milliseconds, creating a protective barrier between the occupants and hard surfaces of the vehicle. The module is a critical part of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and works together with seat belts to reduce the risk of serious injury during an accident.

• Airbag warning light illuminated on the dashboard, indicating a fault in the system.
• Airbag failing to deploy or deploying improperly during a collision.
• Visible damage, tampering, or loose fitment of the airbag cover or housing.

About Genuine Saab

The original parts used by Saab to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Saab” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Saab, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Saab Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Saab are not necessarily manufactured by Saab. No cause for concern, as Saab designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Saab for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Saab parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Saab logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
