No dramas with replacement air bags for the Jeep.
They had plenty of them in stock apparently.
My model Wrangler also had a clock spring recall on it which I got the notification for about 2 or 3 years ago.
Apparently a faulty clock spring stops your wipers, horn and headlights from working properly and could possibly set off the (now found to be faulty) airbags. Awesome little trick that one....
When Jeep did the first clock spring recall I had heard they where making people pay for a replacement, obviously that didn't fly for long.
Next they tried to say, bring in the vehicle and we'll test to see if the clock spring is faulty. If it fails we'll replace it. If it doesn't fail we'll tick you off the list as needing a replacement and when it does fail (because it will fail eventually) you will have to pay for the replacement. I wasn't playing that game.
So I waited around for all of the complaints to the ACCC to take effect and sure enough a year or so later I get a letter from Jeep, all clock springs will be replaced free of charge regardless of condition.
Not long after that I got the airbag letter. Figuring there'd be a massive waiting list, I waited another few months.
After the third reminder letter I finally rang Jeep and confirmed, the clock spring and the airbag will be replaced no matter what and they had both items in stock.
All done now, after getting home and clipping half the dash back in properly it's all good....
