“While driving the air bag light comes on and goes off multiple times. After diagnosis I found out that the clock spring is at fault and this is a common issue. Why hasn't there been a recall? There is a recall for the right hand drive wranglers but no the left hand drive. Why is this? This is a safety issue that I think needs to be addressed asap.”
