NHTSA recall 12V198000

What's wrong: Incorrect software for the occupant classification system module (ocsm) was installed on the vehicles either at the time of manufacturing or during the course of replacement of the module as part of a service repair. Under certain driving conditions, the ocsm may misclassify the passenger seatâ’s occupant such that the passenger side airbag does not deploy when it should, does not deploy as intended, or deploys when…

Why it matters: A failure to deploy, failure to deploy as intended, or a deployment when not intended, increases the risk of injury to the passenger side seat occupant.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ocsm free of charge. The safety recall began on May 21, 2012.
