If I was thinking I would have asked for pics/ part numbers of what they were putting into the jeep but I didn't. It "looks" like my previous purchase on Amazon was the -AD revision (newer/ different pn than my 10) but the current revision is -AF.


On the gas tank thing- just buy the piece of hose and be a happy camper. CNNX321AC is the part number. The hose has a check valve in there and it replaces straight tube that is likely currently in there. It was $20-25 and took 10 minutes to install. I haven't seen an ounce of gas come back at me since installation.

Finally got around to taking mine in for the clock spring. No more random opposite side blinker when I turn!

I just got a letter for my 2015. I have read all 7 pages in this thread, and I still don't know what a "clockspring" is, or where it is. From reading, it appears to be related to the airbag, but other than that, I am stumped. It is nice to see FCA extended my warranty

The clock spring is the device that connects all the switches and air bag on the steering wheel to the rest of the car. It is inside the steering wheel housing.

Thanks. I would have never guessed. Does it look like a clockspring?

OK, I looked it up online, now that I know what to look for. I found a YouTube video showing how to replace one. I am glad FCA will do it, if I ever need it

I had mine done a couple of months back. Has anyone else noticed that the fit around the light and wiper stalks is not as good as it was previously? Seems like more dust would get in now.

Everything I've read only indicates a recall for model years '07-'10. I guess if it's been extended they'll have to send out individual notices. Nothing on my '14 yet.
