You guys both have the 4-spoke steering wheel, not the M-436 option - 3-spoke Sport Steering Wheel right..??

The issue is that the rubber bushings on the AirBag Retaining Frame (PN#993.347.088.01) have torn and don't allow the AirBag to float as designed. This causes the contacts for the Horn to close and sound the Horn. It especially occurs under braking as the AirBag's momentum causes it to move toward the contacts since it's no longer being held off by the bushings.

There is a DIY on fixing it, but personally, the part is like $40 and I would just replace it. Easy fix.
