lol. Yea it may only affect certain years. Someone told me about it on the trail when I mentioned that I had replaced mine…something like this below is what I found.
Who knows for sure…

I had to do the same with mine. I can’t remember exactly what I did but it’s not hard.

You just have to bypass two wires on the plug from what I understand.

Yea, I had mine replaced a few years back.

Also, @Disciple Off Road, there is a lifetime manufacturers warranty on JK clock springs. I didn’t know when I replaced mine, and paid a few hundred bucks at the dealership. Wish I had known.

Well.....I clearly did not know this either. @LS JK was awesome and had my warranty replacement lying around haha

Yup that’s the clock spring. Not a hard replacement to do yourself.

Hmm. I hadn't thought about doing it myself. Good to know. Thanks Disciple!

I logged in to Mopar and found the extended warranty notice under my VIN. Although I'm not experiencing airbag light issues, I'm hopeful the dealership will replace for free since it's broke. 🤞

If not, I'll purchase the parts and replace it myself. I'm pretty handy with commercial HVAC systems so I like to think this should be a breeze :cool:

If the dealer has it in stock it took them less than an hour to swap mine out.
Depending on what year jeep, the hardest part may be taking off the steering wheel cover.
my 2010 was a pain in the ass and I had to bend a screwdriver a certain way to get to the release tabs
 
Update: The dealer will be replacing it under warranty! Unbelievable. I’m sitting at 147k miles with 3k miles to go on the warranty.

Appreciate the members here sharing all the good info otherwise I would be paying for this or trying to g to replace it myself.

Cheers!
 
So just to ask this question regarding the clockspring recall. Does this apply if you aren't the original owner of the jeep? Thus far mone is fine but I want to keep this in mind if it every acts up.

I believe all recalls follow the vehicle and not the owner so you should be good to go.
