Your steering wheel's airbag lives in the center hub, not the rim - so whether a cover is airbag-safe comes down to what part of the wheel it actually covers.

Where the Airbag Actually Is

Steering wheel airbags deploy from the center hub, a separate fixed module from the rim you grip. A cover that wraps only the outer rim - which is how this cover and most steering wheel covers are designed - does not sit over or obstruct that hub at all.

What Actually Causes Problems

Issues arise from covers that are the wrong size and bunch up near the hub, or from extremely thick padding that changes how the wheel feels to grip. A properly fitted, rim-only cover made from a thin material like this suede-finish cover does not carry that risk.

What to Check Yourself

After installing, confirm the cover sits flush around the rim only, with no material creeping toward the center hub or spokes.
