This vehicle was recalled in 2016 for defective airbag clock spring replacement and I had the recall work done in early 2017. In June of 2021, the airbag warning lamp came on and a scan showed that the airbag clock spring (which had been replaced under the recall in 2017) was defective. I took the vehicle to the local Jeep/Chrysler dealer and was told that they only warranty recall related parts for 2 years, which had already expired, and that I was responsible for FULL payment to get the clock spring replaced. It is incomprehensible to me that an official the federal safety agency recall that resulted in replacing a supposedly defective part with another part that proved defective would not be covered by the original recall at Jeep/Chryslers expense. Serious injury or death could occur to myself and other passengers if the airbags are not properly deployed in a collision. An additional recall should be issued for owners of all Jeep vehicles that had a defective part replaced with another defective part.

The air bag light keeps going on and off as I'm driving, conditions (street or highway) are more pronounced while cornering... The clock spring was replaced 2 years ago, its doing the same thing again
Air bag light turns on intermittently during vehicle operation, meaning the air bag will not deploy if there's a collision. Suspected component failure is the clockspring. There have been recalls on other years of jeep wranglers for this issue, but not 2010 to my knowledge.
Takata recall. S33 airbag recall. My airbag light has been on for two weeks. I had an oil change at a subaru dealership and they checked diagnostics got code b1b02. Brought my jeep into a chrysler dealership, as the recall notice suggested, and they charged me $85 for the diagnostic check. Now I have to drive with no airbag and I'm $85 out of pocket!!!!!!! Furious.
