Steering wheel/air bag rattle?

Last summer and fall I noticed an annoying rattle when on rough pavement. Car is finally back on the road for Michigan's driving season..."it's back".

Source sounds to be the steering wheel. Anyone else having this issue?

Has there been a service bulletin or recall to fix this?

Depending on your model year, there may be a solution in this thread:

HenryM is infamous around these parts
There is a fix for an air bag rattle depending on how old your Aston is. For the V8 Vantage it was for VINs earlier than 13104. There are some sleeves available for the bolts that hold the air bag. There was a post on pistonheads.com on Feb 1, 2012 that detailed this fix. The part number is 9G43-33698-AA. You need two and they are cheap. They applied to my 2007 V8 Vantage and fixed the rattle.

I know this is an old thread but thanks for sharing this. Felt like I was driving an old Honda on the last road trip. I made some temporary spacers at work until I do my next Redpants parts order. Thanks!!
