Summary: If the passenger-side air bag deploys in an accident and there is no passenger in that seating position, the air bag can detach from, and deform, the mounting bracket.
Consequence: Installation of a replacement passenger-side air bagwould be impeded by the damage to the mounting bracket and would require moreexpensive repair work. This may deter the vehicle owner from having the repairmade and the replacement air bag installed, which would place future passengersat higher risk of injury in an accident.
Remedy: A new air bag module with a slightly revised door to improve fit and appearance will be installed and a doubler will be installed on the mounting bracket to more securely retain the module.
Notes: System: interior system: passive restraints; passenger-side air bag.vehicle description: passenger vehicles.note: this is a predelivery campaign. All vehicles should still be in dealer'sinventory.

Has your Ford been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
