| Description of the problem | The airbag clockspring assemblies needed to be replaced in my left-hand drive jeep wrangler. The jeep wrangler already has a recall for right-hand drive models addressing broken airbag clockspring assemblies. Recall number: 13v176000 in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver-side frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. In my opinion this is a serious safety risk in the jeep wrangler. I received the warning light while the jeep was in motion, and luckily i was near a jeep dealership (bill bryan chrysler dodge jeep, fruitland park, fl 34731) where i had the broken airbag clockspring assembly replaced to the tune of $500. |
