This is a supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbag for the Land Rover Defender. The airbag works with the crash sensors, seatbelt pre-tensioners, and the SRS control module to inflate in a collision and help protect occupants. A missing or faulty airbag affects occupant safety, sets SRS warning lights, and can cause a vehicle to fail inspection. The live spec indicates a steering-wheel (driver) airbag; the exact type and position must be confirmed by VIN.
Important safety notes, because this is a pyrotechnic device. An airbag contains an explosive inflator charge and must be installed by a qualified technician; it is not a do-it-yourself, plug-and-play part, and mishandling can cause an accidental deployment. Confirm the unit is never deployed with an intact, unactivated inflator, and confirm it is not on an active NHTSA recall (for example, the industry-wide Takata inflator recalls). After installation, the SRS module may need VIN coding or a reset and any fault codes cleared. The live description called the part 'plug-and-play... simple installation' and described it as 'light-sport aerobatic'; that framing is removed here in favor of accurate, safety-first language, and the source page should be corrected.
This airbag is built to OEM and FMVSS specifications. We do not claim to have impact-tested the unit; we describe it as built to those specifications and route final verification to a qualified installer.

This airbag is offered for the Land Rover Defender, confirmed by VIN. Key fitment points:
| Vehicle | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| Land Rover Defender | L663 (2020+) per the live spec |
| Type | Steering-wheel (driver) airbag per the spec; confirm by VIN |
| Not assumed | The classic Defender is a different vehicle; do not assume cross-fit |
The live spec indicates the modern L663 Defender (2020+). The description also mentions repairing a classic Defender, but the classic and the L663 are entirely different vehicles with different (or no) airbags, so that is not assumed here. A driver airbag must match the exact steering wheel and SRS configuration, so confirm the type, position, and part by VIN before ordering. We confirm the details with you before shipping.

Quality control for this part includes:
Because the live page states only 'Used', we confirm the safety-critical details with you before shipping: that the airbag is never deployed with an intact, unactivated inflator, that it is a genuine OEM unit (salvage airbags have a known counterfeit and improper-refill problem), and that it is not on an active NHTSA recall. Airbag inflators are DOT Class 9 hazardous goods and ship under UN3268 by a hazmat-compliant ground carrier. Installation is for a qualified technician only; the SRS module may need VIN coding or a reset afterward.
