What this recall means for you
Some 2011-2016 Jeep Wranglers built with right-hand drive may have a clockspring assembly that becomes contaminated with dust. This can cause the driver's frontal air bag circuit to fail.
If the air bag circuit fails, the driver's frontal air bag may not deploy in a crash, which increases the risk of injury. Owners should not wait to have this addressed.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the clockspring, wheel back cover, and column shroud at no cost. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, using recall number S40, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
