Ford in the event of a crash, the driver's frontal air bag may not fully inflate or the air bag cushion may detach from the air bag module.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
In the event of a crash, the driver's frontal air bag may not fully inflate or the air bag cushion may detach from the air bag module. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
During deployment, if the air bag does not fully inflate or the cushion detaches, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag module, free of charge.
