The airbag technology used in the Nissan Urvan varies depending on the model year. Airbag24 professionally repairs control units for all Nissan Urvan generations with original functionality and a 2-year warranty.
The Nissan Urvan series, based on the proven Nissan Caravan, has a long and diverse production history dating back to the 1970s. Over the decades, various generations and facelifts have been introduced, continually adapting and evolving the vehicle to meet modern requirements.
With each new generation of the Nissan Urvan, the integrated safety systems also evolved, particularly airbag technology. While airbags were rare or nonexistent in early models, with advances in technology and rising safety standards, they increasingly became standard and an important part of passive safety.
The Nissan Urvan has been produced in three main generations, each using different airbag control units. The evolution of the safety system reflects technological advances from the early 1970s to the present day.
The first known major generation of the Nissan Urvan is the E24, which was produced from the early 1970s well into the 1990s. Airbags were not yet common in light commercial vehicles during this era, so models of this series rarely featured such safety systems. If they did, they were very basic versions. You can find the nissan-urvan-e24 series in our shop.
The E25 model, which was built from 2001 to approximately 2014, marked a significant leap in airbag equipment. Driver and passenger airbags became increasingly standard, significantly improving occupant safety. The corresponding repair series can be found at nissan-urvan-e25 .
The current generation, the E26, also known as the NV350 Urvan, has been in production since around 2014 and has undergone several facelifts since then, most recently in 2021/22. These models typically come standard with airbags for the driver and front passenger. Depending on the market and equipment, additional airbags or advanced safety systems such as Nissan Intelligent Mobility features (e.g., lane keeping or emergency braking) may be integrated. This makes them the safest Urvan models to date. The corresponding services are listed in the nissan-urvan-e26 series.
Nissan Urvan airbag control units can be uniquely identified by part number, model year, and vehicle identification number (VIN). Each generation uses specific control unit variants for optimal compatibility and functionality within the respective vehicle system.
Correctly identifying your Nissan Urvan airbag control unit is crucial for a successful repair or replacement. The control unit's part number is the most important clue; it's usually located on a sticker directly on the control unit and provides information about the model, year, and specific configuration. The exact year of your vehicle and the vehicle identification number (VIN) are also essential, as Nissan often installs different airbag systems and associated control units within a model series.
Due to the long production run and model updates, Nissan Urvan airbag control units are often incompatible across generations. Precise matching ensures that the repaired or replaced control unit works perfectly with your vehicle's existing sensors and airbag modules, ensuring the safety systems function correctly.
The airbag configuration of the Nissan Urvan varies considerably depending on the model year and trim level. While early models use basic airbag systems or have no airbags at all, newer generations feature enhanced safety packages with additional airbag modules and intelligent driver assistance systems.
In the older Nissan Urvan E24 models, which were produced until the 1990s, airbags were still a rarity in commercial vehicles. Therefore, many of these vehicles do not have airbags, and if they do, they are usually a single driver airbag in very late models or specific markets.
With the introduction of the Nissan Urvan E25 (2001-2014), airbags increasingly became standard equipment. Driver and passenger airbags were generally available as standard or optional, representing a significant advance in passive safety and meeting the increased demands for occupant protection.
The current generation, the Nissan Urvan E26 (NV350 Urvan), on the market since 2014, offers the most comprehensive airbag equipment. In addition to driver and passenger airbags, additional airbags (e.g., side curtain airbags) may be installed depending on the trim level and market. Furthermore, newer models integrate advanced safety systems that go beyond airbags, such as Nissan Intelligent Mobility features with emergency braking and lane departure warning systems to contribute to preventive safety. This development underscores Nissan's commitment to occupant safety, especially in a vehicle primarily designed for commercial passenger and freight transport.
