Broken coil spring by model year

The clockspring failed on the date indicated. The air-bag, horn and cruise control were non-functional during the failure. I replaced the unit with a new one. I investigated why the unit failed by disassembling it. The flat ribbon cable in the unit failed from inadequate strain relief at the point of connection. All 5 conductors were broken due to repeated hard bending without adequate support at the connection point.
Clockspring failed - airbag, horn, cruise control will not operate. Very serious safety problem. Part should be recalled.
Clockspring failed causing airbag, horn, cruise control to be inoperable.
