Symptoms include the airbag warning light illuminating, and loss of functionality for steering wheel controls, horn, and cruise control. This poses a critical safety risk as the airbag may not deploy in a crash. Recalls address these issues, but owners should verify completion and be aware of potential clock spring wear.
