Chrysler Recalls Jeep Wrangler Vehicles Due to Air Bag Clockspring Defect

Chrysler is recalling 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler vehicles because dust contamination in the clockspring assembly may prevent the driver's air bag from deploying.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bag) that may fail to deploy, increasing injury risk, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler JK vehicles manufactured between March 2, 2006, and August 13, 2010. The recall involves approximately 388,532 vehicles.

The clockspring assembly in these vehicles may become contaminated with dust, which can cause the air bag circuit to fail. If the circuit fails, the driver's frontal air bag may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clockspring, wheel back cover, and column shroud free of charge. The recall began on December 14, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
