Six problems related to front driver side air bag inflator have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall. Received a notice for passenger airbag inflator that if deployed could result in serious injury or death. Called dealer to get repaired and was told parts were not available yet for that recall. Ten months went by with parts not available all the while putting me and my family at risk of serious injury or death.
Takata recall we received 2 recall notices for our son's 2007 Jeep Wrangler: s33/NHTSA 16v-290 airbag clockspring s43/NHTSA 16v-352 passenger airbag inflator for more than six months we have been trying to resolve this recall issue, but our dealership, southpoint Dodge/Jeep/ram in austin texas still does not have the recall replacement parts and we remain on the waiting list. We are very concerned because our son is a college student and travels between texas and louisiana frequently. Can you please tell us what the timeline is for getting these items taken care of?.
Takata recall (s43) airbag inflator and safety recall (s33) airbag clockspring I have tried three times to get these recalls addressed at the hilton head Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership where I purchased this vehicle. The service manager claims the parts are on back order. This has been going on since I received the recall notices earlier this year. These are potentially life threatening conditions which this manufacturer/dealer is unable or unwilling to address.

The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 09e044000 (air bags) for the front passenger inflator; however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall - it has almost been a year since the takata recall was announced. In that time, I have been notified by Jeep once. As it appears that the Wrangler is the only vehicle in their line that is affected, I do not understand why this has not been addressed. I have a 2007 Wrangler and live in alabama which is "zone a" for the recall. I have a colleague that has a similar aged vehicle from Toyota that was told to park the car and was provided with a loaner by Toyota until a fix was available because of the potential danger. As this is the vehicle that I use to drive my child to and from school, this concerns me. It seems that Jeep is making no effort to remedy this problem, and I am left putting passengers of my vehicle in danger. Any effort to contact Jeep have resulted in no response. I would much prefer to have the airbag disabled and/or removed until a fix is available rather than a potential hazard for my child. Even a new inflator that is no so old would be a better temporary fix. I would appreciate seeing some action on Jeep's part or some action on the part of NHTSA to force the issue.
