The Clock Spring has been identified as being bad, (nothing in the steering wheel works). I have owned it for 5 years and it hasn't worked for at least 3-4 of those years. I don't know if it has been replaced... However, for something that is a safety concern, such as the airbags, I would think that it would work longer than 1-2 years... if it has been previously replaced. I can't find any records of it. The air bag lights have been on for a few years; I thought it was normal. I wasn't aware of any recalls on the clock spring/air bags until recently.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The airbag light is staying on, the horn is not working, inoperable steering wheel buttons (for switching between dashboard options like mileage, temperature, and information) as well as radio and cruise control buttons. Occasionally, all dashboard lights will come and and flicker, the dome light and all interior lights will flicker as well for a few seconds. I believe the Jeep is affected by the clockspring issue covered by S40 / the federal safety agency 16V‑288. However, because my VIN is not connected with this recall, no manufacturer service center will address it.
The airbag light is turning on and off, and I'm wondering if it's related to the same recall that was issued previously.
Driver side airbag warning light came on, took vehicle to dealer for inspection and report is the airbag system has a fault in it and whole system will need to be replaced. Vehicle is available for inspection, and issue has been confirmed by dealer. Told airbag unlikely to go off, but may not deploy in the event of an accident.
Bad clock spring. Air bag light will not go off, even after passenger air bag was replaced for recall.. also no controls will work on the steering wheel.
When driving or stationary the air bag light comes on and a ding follows. It happens no matter the situation when I move the steering wheel.
Airbag warning light and audible tone comes on intermittently goes and comes while driving and or idling. Passenger side inflator was replaced with recall. Researching this warning many 2014 jk's are experiencing this problem. Research points directly to the clock spring. Fca USA should replace the part as a recall has been issued for rhd jk's and many lhd jk's are experiencing the same issue.
While driving, airbag light comes on when 20mph or maybe 10mins of driving. Light will go off when stopped. And will return again at 20mph or 10more min of driving. It will occasionally stay on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was ding warning. The contact stated air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bob poynter chrysler located at 1873 e tipton st, seymour, in 47274, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the driver's frontal air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle has been repaired as of 05/29/20. The manufacturer was informed of failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000. *bf consumer had a new engine with 7,000 miles on it, 184,000 miles was on the car when it was purchase. Passenger airbag still needs to be replaced.
I have an airbag light on my dash (since 2016) with a code a diagnostic from a certified chrysler dealer stating it matches the recall for this very same problem (needing the clock spring replaced because of dust contamination) however the VIN does not fall within range. I am worried that in the event of an accident, the poorly made components and jeep's refusal to fix this will result in unnecessary injury.
The airbag light just came on in my 2014 jeep jk. After diligent research online, and with the mechanical knowledge I have. I have found that it is due to the failure of the clock spring in the steering wheel. After researching further, I found in numerous threads, post, blogs, and forums, that this is a widespread issue with all jeep jk's. A recall was issued for the 07 and 08 jk's, and also for the newer model right hand drive jk's. However, this issue has not been addressed in the 09 through 18 jk's. This can cause safety issues with the airbags, and believe jeep should issue a recall for these latter year jk's as well. This happened while driving back home from across town. At first with the light and chime coming on intermittently. Then finally the light stayed on. I have not been to the dealership to diagnose this as I believe I have done so on my own. This is a quite expensive fix for a safety issue that I don't believe jeep buyers should have to pay.
Air bag light on, shop says the clock spring goes bad fair often in jeeps. Still driving it without the needed repairs. Dealer says recall on mine was for the passenger airbags and even though they have had jeep recalls regarding the clock spring, my jeep is not showing up under that recall.
