Recall # S40, NHTSA 16V-288 needs to be expanded!!! my clockspiring assembly is bad in my vehicle, and my airbag light is on. The dealership said if I get in an accident the air bag will not deploy. There is a recall out for certain 2016 RHD vehicles for the clock spring assembly. Certain vehicles manufactured between 2011 and may of 2016 fall into the recall. My vehicle was manufactured during that time, however for some reason my VIN number is not included in this recall-why? the same clock spring that was recalled in certain VIN numbers has gone bad in my vehicle also-which is a right hand drive. Speaking with chrystler directly about this they said there is nothing they can do because my VIN number is not included! this is not ok! it is an issue effecting air bad deployment! I am a rural mail carrier-and I am risking my life every day. If a vehicle rear ends me or hits me-my air bad will not deploy and thats my life! for chrystler to know about this issue in vehicles and not take care of it in mine is not ok! and I expect something to be done!
Clockspring is causing the air bag light to stay illuminated. Clockspring controls turn signal, flashers, deployment of air bags, etc. If I have an accident the air bags may not even deploy. That is a real safety issue to me and should be for all drivers.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the air bag light was illuminated. The contact called the dothan Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat dealer located at 4074 ross clark cir, dothan, al 36303, and was informed that there was no recall on the VIN.

Airbag light began to illuminate on and off suddenly without reason after starting the car. Now the airbag light is steady on. Mechanic ran fault codes and received about 15 fault codes on computer related to airbag system and SRS. Appears to be some sort of major electrical problem.
While sitting still I started my Jeep and on my instrument panel the airbag light came on, the first few hours it would come on and go off intermittently, now it's on all of the time. When I took it to a dealership they said it was the clock spring which costs $410 for the part alone and informed me that they are on back order which tells me there must be a lot of Jeep with the same issue. When I asked them if that meant my airbag may deploy at any time she said no quite the opposite it meant it would not deploy at all. I am a mail carrier and have spoken to other 2016 RHD Jeep owners and they had recalls to repair theirs but mine didn't make the recall list. My Jeep is my livelihood, now I have to worry that if I'm involved in a collision I'm at a much higher risk for injury or fatality.
The vehicles airbag light came on and the buttons on the steering wheel now fail to work. Looked online found it is the clock spring. There was a recall for this issue but this vehicle is not covered under that recall. Dealer quote to fix this issue is 679.00
The contact owns an 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while stopped at a traffic light, the air bags assembly light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to neuwirth motors located at (219 S college rd, wilmington, nc 28403) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the clock spring assembly needed to be replaced.

I was traveling down a city street and the person coming the other direction crossed the double yellow line. We collided head on and my airbag did not deploy. I had recently replaced the airbag due to a recall from the manufacturer. This accident resulted in my vehicle being totaled. Furthermore I received several injuries including a concussion and whiplash. The airbag did deploy on the Kia that hit me.
Received notice from Jeep that a recall was in effect for the airbag sensor switch located somewhere within the front bumper.. the switch maybe disconnected at time of impact and not message the air bags to deploy... the hard rock addition Jeep has an access port located within the front bumper specifically for the purpose of installing a winch/winch plate... dealership advised it would cost additional 100 dollars to repair the recall as the winch would have to be removed partially or in total... contacted customer service / case management at Jeep Corp and was advised it would not cover the cost to remove the winch that it was more or less between the dealership and me.. my thoughts are that the bumper was designed by Jeep to install a winch inside the bumper with top and front removable plates and that they are responsible regardless....
2016 Jeep Wrangler. Consumer writes in regards to urgent airbag safety recall. The consumer stated the dealer canceled the scheduled recall repair and did not schedule a new appointment.
Takata recall. I have been on the phone with Jeep (833-585-0144) to get my airbag replaced on numerous times. There are no parts available. They have called dealers and I am on a waiting list at a Jeep dealer for over two months. I believe they should be required to provide me a rental car until parts are available as this is a unsafe vehicle to drive.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 19V018000 (air bags).

Takata recall. Airbag light recently turned on. After using a diagnostic tool to decode the problem I'm given code B1B02. This was an open recall on half a million older Jeep Wrangler. However mine is not included in the recall and feel it should be concerning the potential seriousness that could arise.
Takata recall I called the dealer about the recall. They didn't call me back. They were unsure if the stock status of the part. The dealer I called was brighton Chrysler in Michigan.
Takata recall. The airbag warning light indicated a fault with a chime, June 2019. The driver airbag clockspring recall was performed in October 2016 shortly after purchase. The dealership says there was a two year warranty, which has expired.the dealership tells me the repair cost is approximately $1200. My complaint is the replacement parts used in the recall are giving warning indicators like the original airbag parts. I use the Jeep for mail delivery on dirt roads that are extremely dusty most of the year. This is the main reason for the original airbag recall. "the airbag clockspring may ingest dust if the vehicle is subjected to dusty environments, compromise airbag circuits, cause illumination of the airbag warning light". I feel the original problem still exists and the recall replacement parts have failed. I think this is a recall concern. I have contacted Fiat Chrysler automobile group recall assistance center, they did not help. I I am paying for the repair. But I feel like the safely problem still exists, and when dust covers this part it will malfunction.
I received the recall notice and the courtesy calls however I've had my appt cancelled by the dealer because they do not have the parts. This is going on for 3 months. The dealers near me do not have these parts and have placed us on a 'list'. in the mean time we need to drive with a vehicle that can cause us injury or death because Chrysler cannot make these parts quick enough or send enough to cover the amount of vehicles with the problem.
