Warning Light On problems of the 2008 Toyota Tacoma

Airbag clockspring spiral cable assembly failed. Make, model, and year covered under recall 12v092000 but not this VIN. Problem started with volume control on steering wheel stopped working. About 2 months later the airbag warning light started to intermittently come on while driving. Soon after this all the electrical steering wheel controls including horn and cruise control stopped working and the airbag light was on continuously. I removed airbag and steering wheel and found the ribbon cable inside the clockspring assembly completely severed (see photo). I installed a new clockspring p/n 843060e010 and everything is now working.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact was informed that the clock spring in driver's frontal air bag housing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v092000 (air bags). The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000. Ah.

My driver side air bag warning light is on all the time. This happened after the spiral cable recall. My dealer told me that the computer is bad. I feel the computer is doing its job telling something is wrong. Is it possible the cable they installed was defective? the vehicle has only 23000 miles. The estimate they gave me was $1200 for the computer. I need some advice and help. Thank you tom chase.

Has 62,000 and air bag warning light in cluster illuminated constantly, never in an accident.
