Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this clear my airbag warning light? A: A failed clock spring is a common cause of that warning, but the code should be scanned to confirm the cable is the fault before replacing it.

Q: Is installation difficult? A: The steering wheel and airbag usually need to be removed, so this job is best handled by someone experienced with airbag-safe procedures.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
