We have updated details on the clockspring recall. Although the recall only affects right hand drive Jeep Wranglers, Chrysler is extending the warranty for lefties. 2007 left hand drive Wrangler clocksprings will now be covered up to 10 years or 150,000 miles.
The NHTSA investigated about 180 cases of airbag warning lights because of faulty clocksprings. Chrysler Group LLC said that 82 of 181 complaints were from right-hand drive Wranglers. These Jeeps were mainly used by postal carriers in dusty, rural environments. Chrysler recalled the 5,334 right-hand drive Jeeps from model years 2008-2012 last month, and agreed to replace the units with a housing that is less susceptible to contaminants.
