What is wrong
American Furukawa submitted a defect information report based upon the recall determinations made by Toyota (23V-480), Ford (23V-847), and Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) (24V-199, 24E-025). Certain clock springs installed in steering column control modules may have been contaminated during the manufacturing process, which can cause electrical failure and deactivate the driver's air bag.
What can happen
A deactivated air bag cannot deploy as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Please refer to the respective vehicle manufacturers recalls for remedy information. Vehicle owners may contact their respective vehicle manufacturers' customer service phone numbers for each vehicle manufacturer recall.
