I started my car and the airbag warning light came on. i then noticed that all controls on my steering wheel no longer worked. this includes speed control, horn, hands-free phone controls, hands-free radio controls an vehicle information options. i assume that the air bag is also not functioning. when i returned home, i googled the problem and found that the airbag clock spring was the probable cause as it had been recalled in previous years but did not include the 2016 model. i took the car in on 02/12/19. they diagnosed error code b10001 - internal failure in clock spring. my car has 39,492 miles which makes it out of warranty. i declined repair ($551.29) as i feel it should be fixed for free. i have 2 attachments.
Micro switch recall. the key may be stuck in the ignition while in park and cannot be removed. i was notified in july 2018. wanted to trade the car in january 2019 and the dealer gave me a very low trade value due to the incomplete recall! can't answer your question about when it happened. does not apply. it was in july 2018 when i was notified.
Clock spring failure in under 2 years (less than 20,000 miles on the car). when car was turned on alerts came up that the airbag had malfunctioned, and automatic cruise control malfunction, none of the steering wheel controls worked, and the horn was non-functional. a quick google search led me to believe it was the clock spring, and i also noticed vw had a clock spring recall on cars from 2011-2014, seems like this might be a larger issue. car was brought to the dealer and repaired - clock spring was determined to be the problem.
