The "clock spring" (also known as the "spiral cable", or "cable reel")
allows electrical connection to the airbag to be maintained as you turn the
steering wheel in the process of steering the car. It's sort of an update
to the old pin-and-ring assembly that horns used to use.

It is inside the airbag assembly. You get a new one with the new airbag.
