What Happened
The passenger airbag in your vehicle is a safety device that deploys in a crash to protect you. In some models, the inflator that makes the airbag work could rupture and break into sharp metal pieces.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could hit you in the face or chest, causing serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Ford dealers will replace the faulty airbag inflator for free, as soon as parts become available. You should not drive your vehicle until the repair is done. You'll get a letter with instructions on what to do next, and you can contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 for more information.
