The component that failed is the air back clock spring. It’s preventing the horn form functioning properly. In turn can result in an accident from lack of warning other drivers and/or air bag might not go off. It seems to be a known problem on the 13 model year of the 4runners. It has not been inspected as I’m not knowledgeable on what to do in that situation and the dealer says that I’d have to pay for it anyway. No warnings just one day the horn didn’t want to work anymore and seems to be a problem that’s pretty consistent. People have reported that it has gone bad with as little as a 100k miles which the clock spring shouldn’t be a maintenance item to begin with.
Takata recall. I called two local Toyota dealerships about getting my vehicle in to have the airbag replaced. Both told me essentially, "the part is on back-order, we're waiting on a shipment, could be a couple of days, could be a few months before we can get you in. We really don't know. " in the meantime, Toyota has instructed owners to not allow any passengers in the front seat due to the danger the airbags present. A few months seems like a long time to go without such an important safety item being fixed.
My horn is not working as a result of a spiral wire in the steering wheel is shorted out. Within the same wire set is the wire that controls the airbag. Thus, I do not know if the airbag is working or not. Two safety features of the car potentially do not work, the horn, for sure, and maybe the airbag. The issue I have.
