| Description of the problem | After driving about 2 hours on a freeway the airbag light came on while turning onto a city street after exiting the freeway. All steering wheel controls and horn had stopped working when the airbag light came on as well. This seems to be the exact failure described in the clock spring recall issued in 2015 for this vehicle though it seems as though the recall may have already been repaired on my car. |
