This Right Airbag—part number 5820020P3011—is a super important passive safety part for the JAC T8 pickup truck. It’s specifically designed to be the front passenger-side airbag, hidden away in the right side of the dashboard. It’s made just for 2018–2023 JAC T8 models—covering every trim from Comfort to Luxury, including both gas and diesel versions like the 2.0T CTI diesel—and works perfectly with the truck’s SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) to protect front passengers when there’s a crash.
Unlike those fancy but useless decorative parts, this airbag is a lifesaver. It only kicks in when the T8 gets into a moderate-to-serious front or near-front crash—like hitting a wall or slamming head-on into another car—and it teams up with the passenger’s seatbelt to cut down on injuries to their head, chest, and stomach. If this right airbag isn’t working right, the front passenger has a way higher chance of slamming into the dashboard or windshield during a crash. Below’s a simple breakdown of how this safety part works:
This right airbag’s job is simple, but it could save a life—here’s how it protects passengers:
Cushioning the impact in a crash: If the T8 gets into a front crash where the impact force is over 30–50km/h (depends on the angle of the crash), the airbag blows up in just 0.08 to 0.1 seconds—faster than you can blink. It turns into a soft “
cushion” between the passenger and the hard dashboard, so they don’t hit it directly (which could cause skull fractures or chest injuries).
Cutting down on injuries to key body parts: It’s sized to cover the passenger’s upper body—about 60cm wide and 40cm tall—and focuses on protecting two big areas: the head (stops it from jolting forward hard) and the chest (eases pressure on ribs and internal organs). For instance, if you get into a head-on crash at 50km/h, this airbag can lower the passenger’s risk of head injuries by up to 70%—but only if they’re wearing their seatbelt.
Inflating and deflating safely: It doesn’t stay fully puffed up forever. Once it pops out, the airbag’s fabric has tiny holes that let air leak out slowly—over about 0.5 to 1 second. This keeps it from bouncing back hard (like a stiff pillow would), which softens the impact even more for the passenger.
Working with the seatbelt and SRS “brain”: It won’t activate on its own. The T8’s
SRS ECU—that’s the “brain” of the Safety Restraint System—has to check two things first: 1) The crash is serious enough (front collision sensors pick this up); 2) Someone is sitting in the front passenger seat (the seat weight sensor tells it this). This stops it from popping for no reason—like if there’s no passenger, it won’t go off, which saves you repair money.

This airbag only works with JAC T8 trucks—forget using it on other JAC models (like the T6) or non-JAC vehicles. It just won’t function. Here’s exactly what it fits:
Target Models: 2018–2023 JAC T8s, every trim level (Comfort, Elite, Luxury) and both engine types—both the 2.0T gas and 2.0T CTI diesel versions.
Matching the SRS System: It has to hook up to the T8’s original SRS ECU (like part number 5890010P3000, for example). Cheap off-brand ECUs or ones from other cars can’t send the right signal to make it work. Either it won’t deploy in a crash when you need it, or it’ll go off by accident—and that’s super dangerous.
Where It Installs: It’s mounted inside the right side of the dashboard, right above the glove box. The factory already drilled the mounting holes and marked where the screws go, so you don’t need to drill extra holes. But you will have to take the dashboard apart a little to install it—don’t force it into a spot it doesn’t fit, or it’ll mess up.
You can’t install this airbag yourself—you need technicians who’re authorized by JAC (like at a JAC 4S shop or a certified repair place). Here’s why, in 3 simple points:
Syncing with the SRS ECU: After putting in the new airbag, the tech uses a JAC diagnostic tool (like the JAC VCI) to “sync” it with the SRS ECU. This tells the ECU the airbag is real and working properly. If you skip this, the SRS warning light will stay on, and the airbag won’t work when it needs to.
Avoiding Accidental Deployment: The gas generator inside the airbag is super sensitive. Drop it, yank the wires the wrong way, and it could set off—deploying with a ton of force that could hurt you. Pros use a “safe mode” to cut power to the SRS system before they start working, so that doesn’t happen.
Getting the Seal Right: The airbag’s cover has to be put back onto the dashboard just right. If there are gaps or the screws are loose, the airbag won’t deploy smoothly in a crash. That defeats the whole purpose of having it.

Aftermarket right airbags are cheaper, but they’re a huge safety risk—here’s why the original part is non-negotiable:
Inflation Speed Is Accurate: Original airbags inflate in 0.08–0.1 seconds (calibrated for the T8’s dashboard distance). Aftermarket ones may inflate too slow (passenger hits the dashboard first) or too fast (causes whiplash).
Material Meets Safety Standards: Original nylon 66 fabric passes JAC’s 10,000+ impact tests—aftermarket ones use thin polyester, which rips easily during inflation (can’t cushion the passenger...
