What is wrong
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Dorman P/N 525-016, Solutions P/N 665-3499 and OE Solutions P/N 525-016 aftermarket clock spring assemblies manufactured January 18, 2016, to October 11, 2016. The coil harness may not have been centered when it was wound, and, as a result, after the air bag is installed, turning the steering wheel may cause the cable to tear.
What can happen
If the cable tears, the driver's air bag may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Dorman will notify and provide owners with instructions for a diagnostic inspection of the clock spring assemblies. If found defective, Dorman dealers will replace the defective clock spring assembly with a new clock spring, free of charge. The recall began on December 7, 2016. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
