The Jeep Wrangler is under investigation by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) due to some instances of the front driver’s air bag failing to deploy because of a broken electrical circuit. The investigation covers about 222,000 vehicles from the 2007 and 2008 model years. The agency has received 29 complaints, but no injuries have been reported.
NHTSA said it contacted 14 of the 29 owners, and six of them had right-hand-drive models typically used by postal carriers. Chrysler also said it is working with NHTSA on the investigation.
Interesting that its predominantly right hand drive vehicles, there have been some incidents in Australia of the air bags not deploying on severe impact.
