I just received a letter stating that Jeep is extending their clock spring warranty to 15 years/unlimited miles. This is for 2011 to Current models. If your Jeep has had clock spring repairs, you can apply for a refund if it falls in the effected model years. Cool.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

Fortunately they put digital clocks in the TJ's so we don't have to worry about broken clock springs!grin

They refunded one of mine I had done.  It was pretty quick payment too.

BUT I'm on clockspring number 4.

I received my notice as well. Insurance paid for mine since the airbag deployed. I did find the following statement interesting after what happened to me.

"We are extending the Clockspring warranty period because of some of the affected vehicle population may experience a compromised airbag circuit or illumination of the airbag warning lamp."

 

What is a "compromised airbag circuit"?

I read that the airbag may not deploy if the clock spring is defective (compromised). Why did your airbag deploy? If it deployed spontaneously that would be a very dangerous and serious defect.

Mine is a 2010 and the dealer wants to replace my clock spring as well. For free of course.
