NHTSA recall 06V111000
Seats · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Certain sport utility vehicles equipped without side air curtains or moonroofs fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact." During testing, the free motion head form registered a measurement above the permitted limit at the left hand a-pillar trim area.
Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, personal injury to occupants may occur.
The fix: Dealers will make modifications to the energy absorbing material located above the headliner in the affected area free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2006.
