Known issues on the 2016 Wrangler. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year: a front seat belt buckle strap that can separate or sever and leave the belt inoperable, a driver air bag clockspring fault that can keep the air bag from deploying in a crash, a frontal air bag sensor/control module (ORC) that may not deploy the frontal air bags if it loses the front impact sensor signal, and a driver-side air bag inflator circuit failure that can prevent the driver's frontal air bag from deploying. Owners have filed 630 complaints and Jeep has issued 96 technical service bulletins for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems.
From a routine service interval to an air bag control-module diagnosis or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 Wrangler.
