NHTSA recall 21V980000
Air Bags · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The side curtain air bag inflators may have been manufactured with the incorrect amount of compressed gas, which can result in improper air bag inflation. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 226, "ejection mitigation," and 214, "side impact protection."
Why it matters: An air bag that does not inflate properly can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the side curtain air bags, free of charge. An interim owner notification letter was mailed on February 3, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 22, 2022.
