2011 Jeep WRANGLER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1284496
Internal NHTSA #	10865803
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER
Model Year	2011
File date	01/03/16
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The clockspring on my 2011 jeep wrangler (left handed drive) has failed causing the airbags to become dysfunctional and airbag light to engage. Fca has recalled right handed drive jeep wranglers 2007-2012 under the attached recall notification. Fca has also recalled 2007 lhd jeep wranglers for this same issue. The root cause of these recalls was determined to be dust accumulation in the grease of the clockspring as seen in the attached recall notification. The clockspring part in both lhd and rhd variations of this model jeep wrangler include a similar, if not the same, clockspring part. The amount of dust that a jeep wrangler is subject to does not correlate to the position of the steering wheel and clockspring. I would suspect that a vehicle with less that 70,000 miles and 5 years of use should not have airbag failure. I have contacted my local jeep dealership which then instructed me to contact the fca jeep warranty/recall 800 number in addition to the fca headquarter's 800 number. After speaking with a representative at the fca headquarters hotline i was told that the recall does not apply to my lhd 2011 jeep wrangler and the repair was to be made from out of my pocket. As of june 2015 there has been an open investigation into this issue for lhd jeep wranglers as seen in the link below. Http://www. Detroitnews.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
