AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER CLOCKSPRING/SPIRAL CASSETTE
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) is recalling certain right hand drive 2016 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. Debris contamination may cause the clockspring to fail, preventing the driver's air bag from deploying in a crash.
- What it can cause
- An air bag that does not deploy in a crash can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the clockspring, steering wheel back cover, and steering column shrouds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 27B.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,831 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2016, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 28 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V873000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 458 complaints with NHTSA, 318 of them before this campaign was filed. 77 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2016, 7 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) with NHTSA on March 14, 2024 as campaign 24V196000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
