Ford passenger side instrument panel cover may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the air bag not to deploy as intended.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the electrical system instrument cluster/panel. Here is what owners need to know.
The passenger side instrument panel cover may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the air bag not to deploy as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
During air bag deployment, the air bag cover may break and project fragments into the vehicle, or the air bag may deploy improperly, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the passenger side instrument panel cover, free of charge.
