Clock Spring

I saw an article today in the newspaper about a recall on
Plymouth Grand Voyagers for a Clock Spring Problem. Just
recently I had this replaced because of my airbag light and
horn. In addition the dealership said that my BCM was bad
and needed replacement and my Fuse Block was bad had to
be replaced.

My questions are:

Could a faulty Clock Spring short a component out in the BCM and
Fuse Block?

and

Could a minor accident on the front passenger fender cause any of
these problems?

Thanks.
