Dorman / Oe Solutions / Solutions recall: Air bags
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 could 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
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.
