The airbag indicator illuminated, and upon getting a diagnostic inspection from the dealership, the issue is the clock spring that is faulty. The shroud is another price required for replacement.
Clockspring failed causing airbag to malfunction. Jeep dealer ordered a replacement in April 2023 and still has not received the part(even though they have one in stock the manufacturer will not allow them to use and install the stock clockspring). We have been forced to drive the vehicle without an operating clockspring which creates a major safety hazard since the airbags may not deploy on impact.

There has been numerous safety recalls for this Jeep on the airbag. The airbag warning light came on and now the horn does not work.
I noticed that the air bag light came in about 6-12 months ago. I am very concerned because, my Jeep is in excellent shape, however, I transport my 94 yo mom around, so this really bothers me. I have seen several recalls regarding air bags in my model, so I wanted to see if this would be part of one of the recalls. I had my mechanic review and to replace would cost me about $800, which I do not have. If this is due to a failure on Jeeps part, I would like this taken care of.
The air bag light has come on and off for years now and even after the recall and paying to have it fixed there is still the light on the dash. Using Jeep forums and web pages this is a very common issue with the JK wrangler apparently. I do not have the funds to have fixed Code B1C2D circuit open
Front-end crash resulted in airbags busting instead of inflating. Current back and neck injuries.
Airbag light mostly on all the time last few days. Years ago cruise control would go out and fix was to blow horn 15 seconds and it would work (true) due to bad clock spring that jeep knows is bad. They did a recall but stopped the year before my jeep even though have the same spring and no dust cover. It's over a thousand dollars to repair, which I cannot afford. Just hoping it doesn't blow up on me while driving. Jeep dealer charges hundreds just to scan codes here.
Becoming the new owner in 2021, I was issued a recall for the passenger airbag inflator replacement. After repairing this recall, the vehicle air bag light came on and has not turned off since. I made several attempts with dearlership to access the problem and in May 2022 the dealership diagnosed the problem stating it was the airbag clockspring. This clockspring had a recall on it in June 2016 and was replaced in September 2016. The dealership along with another AMS certified mechanics shop stated the clockspring that was replaced in 2016 is defective. This is causing multiple safety issues with the vehicle. The anti skid system activates, the anti lock braking is activated, the cruise control will not operate, along with the fact the air bags are inoperable or not operating at full capacity as they are required to.
Farmers Insurance reporting - customer brought in vehicle for repair after an auto accident. The airbag did not deploy in the accident, but while being worked on the airbag deployed and caused severe injury to the employee of our insured policy holder. Contractor determined the airbag deployed due to the clock spring error.
I placed a box of candles on my passenger seat. I drove less than 1 mile when my airbag light came on. The box weighed less than 10lbs. The light is still and and dings every few minutes
Clockspring malfunction, not working, airbag light illuminated. Similar problem with Jeep RHD Wranglers which uses the same part as the LHD Wranglers, resulting in no airbag deployment if involved in accident. Malfunctioning 2012 Jeep Wrangler LHD Clockspring.
Airbag light comes on and will only turn off when not in motion. Big safety issue
Air bag light comes on and it throws code b1b02 driver side airbag squib 2 circuit open. I did some research and noticed jeep's of the same year only left side drive were recalled. Light comes on while setting still but goes on and off while driving.
2012 jeep wrangler jk clock spring assembly is faulty, circuit is open causing air bag light to illuminate and possible issues deploying air bag in event of a crash. Same issue as previous my jks. Air bag light will illuminate when steering wheel is turned, sometimes staying on or turning back off. Also seems to be happen more frequently during cool weather (less than 60 degrees f).
Airbag light appears to come on every time I'm in motion and turns off when I'm at full stop. I looked at the federal safety agency recall notices and seems I have incomplete recall regarding my passenger airbag.
Air bag light going on and off intermittently. Everything say clockspring issue from all I have read online. However, for some reason, left handed models not covered.
Air bag light will not turn off.
Air bag light is on, horn doesn't work, radio controls on steering wheel doesn't work. I'm sure it's the clock spring but according to recalls mine wasn't under the recall. Worked perfectly on way home from work, got in a few hours later to get dinner and nothing worked, air bag light came on and horn wouldn't work.
I had my driver's side clock spring replaced at dealership in 2019 due to recall. Last 2 months, airbag light comes on and off but usually only when I am in full turn. On aug 3, 2020, I noticed my outside temp was reading celsius so I tried to change it back to fahrenheit. Button was not working. Checked my horn...nothing....cruise control....nothing. I noticed my steering wheel making clicking kind of popping sound. 30 min later, I put my jeep in park and the air bag deployed.
Airbag warning sensor is coming on. Other 2012 jeep owners have had same problem.
The airbag light has continuously stayed on no matter trying to reset it or sitting in the seat it's just been on and I'm afraid that it's faulty
Controls on the steering wheel started to go, including horn, air bag light, hands free controls. Mechanic and research done indicates it's the clock spring. This is a left hand drive vehicle. I know there is a recall on the right hand drive vehicles from this year.
I had recall performed on jeep by bob moore chrysler in tulsa. After they did service the airbag warning light came on in less than two days. When we took jeep back to them they said it was the spring on the drivers side and had nothing to do with their repair. I contacted jeep' s corporate office and was told that my year jeep had a recall for the drivers side airbag spring but not for my VIN. They told me to make a complaint on here so it could be added to the recall listing.
Clock spring malfunction: horn and steering wheel electronics inoperable.
I went to my local dealer to perform the recall on the passenger airbag which they performed and as a result of that replacement I now have the airbag warning light illuminated on my dash, the steering wheel controls no longer work, horn included and when I mentioned it to the service technician they indicated that I would have to incur the cost of diagnosing the problem and covering the costs. All was working fine until the airbag recall. To my knowledge the vehicle was in a bay being worked on for the recall. The date reflects the day the steering wheel controls stopped working
All the electronics in my steering wheel went out, the horn stopped working, and my airbag no longer works. Some of my warning lights on the dash even stopped working. The fm/am radio also no longer works. I took it to the dealership and they said my clock springs went out. I am very worried about my airbag not deploying in a crash. None of these work, whether the car is moving or stationary.
