NHTSA's summary

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication ? M31050813 Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) announced a safety recall on certain 2008 through 2012 model year (JK) Jeep Wrangler vehicles equipped with a Right Hand Drive (RHD) steering configuration (sales code AHF) and built for U.S specifications (sales code YAA). Some of the above vehicles may have an airbag system clockspring assembly that could experience a compromised airbag circuit. This condition could result in an airbag warning lamp illumination. Chrysler will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected RHD vehicles to replace the airbag system clockspring. Additionally, 2008 through 2010 model year vehicles will receive a steering wheel dust shield. NOTE: Safety Recall L37 which provided an interim repair for this issue is being cancelled. Involved vehicle owners will be sent a second owner notification requesting they have their vehicle repaired. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established methods used in the past. We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries on involved vehicles.
