Air bag light going on and off ever 2-4 minutes with a chime each time. Light goes on and of weather in motion or at a standstill. Had mechanic scan for obd codes. Code came back as B1B02 clock spring failure. RHD Jeep have been recalled for this exact issue but not lhd. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed to all Wrangler of these years and not just the RHD.

The clockspring on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler (left handed drive) has failed causing the airbags to become dysfunctional and airbag light to engage. Fca has recalled right handed drive Jeep Wrangler 2007-2012 under the attached recall notification. Fca has also recalled 2007 lhd Jeep Wrangler for this same issue. The root cause of these recalls was determined to be dust accumulation in the grease of the clockspring as seen in the attached recall notification. The clockspring part in both lhd and RHD variations of this model Jeep Wrangler include a similar, if not the same, clockspring part. The amount of dust that a Jeep Wrangler is subject to does not correlate to the position of the steering wheel and clockspring. I would suspect that a vehicle with less that 70,000 miles and 5 years of use should not have airbag failure. I have contacted my local Jeep dealership which then instructed me to contact the fca Jeep warranty/recall 800 number in addition to the fca headquarter's 800 number. After speaking with a representative at the fca headquarters hotline I was told that the recall does not apply to my lhd 2011 Jeep Wrangler and the repair was to be made from out of my pocket. As of June 2015 there has been an open investigation into this issue for lhd Jeep Wrangler as seen in the link below. www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/Chrysler/2015/06/23/NHTSA-probe-Jeep-Wrangler/29150093/

The vehicle displays an airbag warning light and chime that may indicate a failure of the clockspring wiring in the drivers side air bag circuit. ODI investigated the RHD (right hand drive) Wrangler for a clockspring issue under PE11-019 which led to NHTSA recall 11V258 on model year (my) 2008-2012 RHD Wrangler as well as an extended warranty campaign on my 2007 lhd Wrangler vehicles. Current investigation: PE 15-025 has the same symptom as my lhd Wrangler.

On my 2011 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2008-2012 Jeep Wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler Chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying."

"takata recall" recently, on a dry, sunny, moderately warm day I was driving a normal speed on a normal road, downward sloping, at a low speed and the airbag warning light chimed and illuminated. It's been four days and the light remains on, and continues to chime. I have owned this Jeep for two years and have not had any collisions and the Jeep has not been offroad, nor did I have a child in the passenger seat, where an airbag may sense a small passenger. This is a very expensive repair from what I'm finding on forums but also a safety device in a vehicle that should be covered under a warranty beyond a standard 3yr/36K warranty. Seatbelts don't expire nor should an airbag in a vehicle.

I have a bad clockspring which has been recalled on right handed Wrangler for the same year but has not yet for the left handed Wrangler and it is causing my airbag light to illuminate while I am driving and while I am staying still and could affect my airbag from deploying when needed.

Continuing failure of electric clock spring/ cruise / horn systems. It has been to dealer 4 times and "fixed" and then re-fails within a short amount of miles. 6314, 9057, 10730, 18456 and is currently failing again(22000). Back to dealer as soon as I can schedule. I will first notice that the cruise control will not turn on and some times the horn will not work. However sometimes if I can honk the horn and then the cruise control will start working again; maybe for a few 100's of a few 1,000 miles. I am worry about the possible failure of the air bag if this keeps up. Please advice. My dealer keeps trying, but Jeep need to resolve! thanks. I will upload copies of my prior 4 service documents.

I currently own a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that is experiencing some electrical issues. Currently the airbag light is on and there is a chime indicating such. This chime occurs approximately every 1 to 2 minutes. At about the same time the airbag light problem occurred, the other controls on the steering wheel such as the horn, cruise control and radio controls stopped functioning. I contacted Jeep (Chrysler) about the issue and was told they would contact me within 24-48 hours concerning this issue. Approximately 10 days went by and I had not heard back from Jeep. I contacted Jeep and was told that they will not fix this issue. I explained to them the safety concerns with not having a working horn and a questionable airbag. This did not seem to be an issue that they were to concerned about. I've been in law enforcement for several years now, and I cannot stress enough about the importance of having a functioning airbag. This is coming from some of the accidents that I have either witnessed or worked as an investigating officer. I have found through research that several earlier model (2007-2008) Jeep Wrangler have been recalled for similar issues. This is a recurring problem and I am sure you have received complaints on this issue in the past. This is my second Jeep and the company replaced the part that was causing the issue before. It was a 2007. This part is referred to as a clock spring and cost over $500 to replace. I would like for this issue to be addressed before someone is gravely affected.

The air bag light has been turning on and off, it is mostly on. The dealership told me it was the "clockspring" and it would be about $500 to repair. I declined to repair because I cannot afford it right now.

While driving my Jeep from home to work, I was probably five minutes into the drive when my air bag light begins to ding on and off every couple of seconds. I was driving on the same residential street I always take to work and have never experienced any issues in the past. My vehicle is very well taken care of and is not abused like some Jeep. After work I was doing research as to what could cause the problem and the consensus seemed to be that if a Jeep was rained on your clock spring would soon go bad. I have removed both the top and doors from my Jeep, but the Jeep has never been rained on. My Jeep is garage kept and the only elements it has been exposed to is heat and dust. Also, I experienced this issue in January and I am in northern ut so this vehicle has not even had the top off within six months from the incident. [xxx] said they would be happy to look at the problem but that the average cost is around $500 (they seemed aware of the faulty part). After further research I have discovered the 2008 clock spring was found to be recalled but nothing later then that" I am confused how the same part can be recalled on the same vehicle but only for one year" Jeep promotes themselves as trail rated, yet I would argue they are simply novelty at this point with all fashion and no function (mind you this is coming from someone who does not even partake in off-roading). Lastly, aside from the obvious security concern it has been brought to my attention that this vehicle now will not pass safety and emissions testing due to mopar's failure I am now required to pay for their mistake.
