The present invention relates to a vehicular steering wheel assembly 100, said assembly including a steering wheel 110, a housing 120 attached to the steering wheel, a cover member 130 mounted to the housing to seal an opening 122 of the housing and a display module 150. The housing accommodates an airbag module 200 having a folded airbag cushion (210 figure 3) and an inflator (220). The cover member includes a tear line (132 figure 6) and a door hinge (134) defining a door 140 therebetween. The door is configured to open about the door hinge enabling the inflating airbag cushion to be deployed outside the cover member towards an operator. The display module, which has a display screen for displaying information to the driver, is fused/bonded to the door, possibly by heat staking, and is configured to move along with the door when it opens about the door hinge. The invention is intended to prevent the display module from separating from the airbag door upon inflation of the airbag thus preventing injury to the driver.
