Air bag light is on intermittently. Running checks throughout my 2015 Jeep Wrangler, the issue resides in a faulty clockspring. After doing research it appears Chrysler/Jeep issued a recall for RHD Jeep Wranglers on faulty clockspring due to dust contamination. Looking over several Wrangler forums, the issue doesn't reside in just the RHD Jeep Wranglers, but also LHD Jeep Wranglers as well. The part is interchangeable for RHD and LHD Jeep Wranglers. I would assume more LHD Jeep Wranglers are manufactured as to the reason the recall wasn't pushed to LHD Jeep Wranglers to keep costs down.

THE DRIVE DROVE DIRECTLY INTO THE FRONT OF MY JEEP AS IF SHE WAS AIMING FOR IT. DESPITE MY FOOT BEING ON THE BRAKE MY JEEP WAS PUSHED IN REVERSE AT LEAST 50 FT DUE TO THE FORCEFUL IMPACT. NEITHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVABLE DUE TO THE FRONTEND DAMAGE. THANKFULLY, I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT BECAUSE MY AIRS DIDN'T NOT DEPLOY AS EXPECTED IN A FRONTEND COLLISION.
