Takata airbag recall on other Wrangler years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside airbag problems for complaints about inflator recalls, Takata's above all. Many owners here aren't describing a failure they've seen. They're describing a recall notice, a dealer who doesn't have the part, and the question of whether the car is safe to drive in the meantime.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the clock spring (21 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the airbags cover the 2014 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Upon deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to explode.
The clockspring assembly may become contaminated with dust and cause the air bag circuit to fail.

“The vehicle has a drivers side airbag fault and problem with the clockspring. This is not a recall but seems as though it should be as other models have recalls for the exact same thing.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 4 of 52 reports involved a crash and 6 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
