Vehicle Information: Make: Jeep Model: Wrangler Model Year: 2007 VIN: [XXX] Safety Recall Information: the federal safety agency Campaign ID: 16V‑290 Manufacturer Recall Number: S33 Component: Airbag / Clock Spring This recall was previously performed by a dealership in February 2021; however, the vehicle is now experiencing the same symptoms the recall was intended to address, indicating the safety defect has reoccurred or was not permanently remedied. The vehicle is currently experiencing: Illuminated airbag (SRS) warning light Horn failure Traction control / electronic stability program warning light Erratic or abnormal A/C behavior that coincides with the SRS/steering wheel electrical faults These failures are consistent with a defective clock spring and directly impact the Supplemental Restraint System and other active safety systems. I contacted an authorized Jeep dealership to request inspection and repair of this recurring safety defect. The dealership confirmed the recall had been previously completed but refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle, stating in writing: “Due to company policy, we are unable to perform diagnostic or repair services on vehicles that are more than 10 years old.” They further stated that because the recall was marked as completed in 2021, they would not assist further and recommended I seek an independent repair facility. I believe this refusal violates the intent and requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. §§ 30118–30120), which requires manufacturers to remedy safety defects and does not allow age-based or policy-based refusal when a safety defect exists or reoccurs. This defect involves the airbag system and active safety features and presents an ongoing risk to vehicle occupants. I am requesting the federal safety agency’s assistance in reviewing this matter and ensuring that the manufacturer and/or authorized dealer fulfills their obligation to properly remedy this safety defect.

I have a current recall for a defective airbag in my 2007 jeep wrangler. The airbag is currently not operational. Every 1-2 minutes while drive the airbag light will come on and ding. This is a serious safety issue and it makes the vehicle incredibly annoying to drive. A local repair shop diagnosed the error codes and they said the problem is related to the following recall and I should take it to a dealer to be fixed. Manufacturer recall number: s33 the federal safety agency recall number: 16v‑290 I waited for the first available appointment and took my vehicle to autonation arapahoe jeep in centennial, colorado today. They said it will be a year and a half or more before the part is in stock. They will not be able to fix the issue until then. This is completely unacceptable to have the manufacturer acknowledge a defective airbag and I have to wait a year and a half to get it fixed. Sadly, I don't know what recourse I have to get it fixed. Aside from paying $500 out of pocket to have the local auto repair shop fix it. Which is what they quoted me for. And said they could the part in stock to repair in 2 days.

I have brought and called the dealer about the part they need to repair the air bag clock spring in my jeep. They continually tell me that fiat-chrysler has not released the part. This recall has been going on for about 5 years now and they have not repaired it yet ! This is my second request for help the SRS system light starts to flash at times.

Takada recall. I recently had my recalled defective takada air bag replaced under warranty at antwerpen jeep in catonsville md. After replacing the air bag, I was informed that the air bag light was still on in my vehicle. They told me they could diagnose the light for $135.00. I refused to pay this because they had previously replaced the clock spring under warranty and I informed them of my air bag light problem then. They wanted to charge me $200.00 at that time to diagnose the system that they had just worked on. I now feel that I cannot trust this dealership to work my vehicle for these safety issues. This jeep has never been in an accident and only has 80,000 miles. Please help me resolve this problem I have had since I bought this jeep new in december of 2006 from antwerpen jeep of catonsville. Thank you

The airbag warning light comes on at random, my horn no longer works. The dealer said that it is due to a faulty clockspring assembly. I got the recall information stating that the clockspring assembly may become contaminated, but my VIN is not one that is officially recalled. I would really like this fixed as it is a show vehicle. Thank you! (the federal safety agency campaign id number: 16v290). Also, my gas always splashes out all over the side of the vehicle when it's any where near full. It doesn't trigger the gas pump to stop and splashes back at me every time I fill up for gas. Please help!

Clock spring failure. Horn will not honk when pressed and airbag warning light comes on and off periodically. Occurs both when stationary and moving.
