A knee airbag system is configured to be disposed in an instrument panel of a vehicle. The knee airbag system has a modular housing which is connected to the instrument panel of the vehicle. An inflatable airbag and an inflator are disposed within the modular housing. In an accident situation, the inflator inflates the airbag to protect an occupant of the vehicle. The system further includes a load distributor which is moved by the inflating airbag from a stored position adjacent the instrument panel and a deployed position away from the instrument panel. When the load distributor is in the deployed position, it provides further support and protection for the vehicle occupant. A tether allows for positioning of the load distributor in the deployed position. The tether is external to the airbag and connected to the load distributor and the modular housing.
