AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
What Happened
The driver-side air bag in your vehicle is designed to deploy in a crash to protect you. But in certain models, the propellant that makes it work can break down over time, especially in hot and humid conditions.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could shoot towards you or other passengers, causing serious injury or even death. This is a life-threatening situation.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a new one, completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, especially if you've experienced high temperatures or humidity in your area.
