NHTSA recall 14V237000
Air Bags · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the restraint control module (rcm) may have errors in the programming software which may result in a delayed deployment of the side-curtain rollover air bag.
Why it matters: If the side-curtain rollover air bag is delayed in deploying in certain rollover circumstances, the risk of injury to the passengers is increased.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the rcm, free of charge. The recall began on May 30, 2014.
