Your airbag system warning light keeps coming on even after the dealership replaced the occupant restraint control (ORC) module. They then replaced the clock spring device, but you believe this is the same issue covered under a previous Jeep recall for 2011-2016 models. You may need the clock spring component inspected or replaced again to resolve the persistent warning light.
