I've noticed that I have a crack around the inner circle of my steering wheel and that the emblem on the steering wheel is also dented (see illustration for location of the damage). Does anyone know where I may be able to find that part? I've been looking through a couple Mopar part catalogs and I've come up empty handed it also probably doesn't help that I'm not sure the name or number of this part.

 

I once had the very same question.

I am not sure what the part number is, but the service manual clearly states that the "driver airbag door" is available for replacement.

I have not been able to locate a part number, although, replacement air-bags do come with the airbag door already installed (generally).

I hope you find out more info.

 

Here is a quote from the Factory Service Manual, 2007 JK Wrangler:



DESCRIPTION

The injection molded, thermoplastic driver airbag protective trim cover (2) is the most visible part of the driver airbag. The driver airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel (1), where it is secured to the armature within the hub cavity of the four-spoke steering wheel. An injection molded, bright emblem with the Jeep® logo is applied to the center of the trim cover.

Concealed beneath the driver air bag trim cover are the folded airbag cushion, the airbag housing, the airbag inflator and the retainers that secure the inflator to the housing. The airbag cushion, housing (3), and inflator (2) are secured within an integral receptacle molded into the back of the trim cover (1). The vertical walls of this receptacle have numerous small windows with blocking tabs that are engaged by numerous hook formations around the perimeter of the airbag housing. Each hook is inserted through one of the windows and the blocking tab in each window keeps the hook properly engaged with the trim cover, locking the trim cover securely into place on the airbag housing. Three wire loop snap retainers (5) extend from the housing to secure the airbag to the steering wheel armature. The snap retainer at the 6 o'clock position has a distinctive V-shape to ensure proper orientation of the airbag when it is installed onto the steering wheel.

The airbag used in this vehicle is a multistage-type that complies with revised federal airbag standards to deploy with less force than those used in some prior vehicles. A radial deploying 67.3 centimeter (26.5 inch) diameter fabric airbag cushion with internal tethers is used. The airbag inflator is a dual-initiator, non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit and is secured to the stamped metal airbag housing using four flanged hex nuts. Two keyed and color-coded connector receptacles (4) on the driver airbag inflator connect the two inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system through two yellow-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harnesses of the clockspring.

The driver airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed, ineffective, or in any way damaged. The driver airbag trim cover may be disassembled from the driver airbag unit, and is available for individual service replacement.
