NHTSA recall 16V110000
Air Bags · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with multi-contour seats (mcs). The front passenger seat occupant classification system (ocs) that calibrates the air bag deployment level may incorrectly classify an adult as a child when the seat massage feature is activated.
Why it matters: If an adult is incorrectly classified as a child, the passenger frontal air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the occupant classification system module (ocsm) with new software, free of charge. The recall began on March 11, 2016.
