Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the fasteners that attach the side airbag to the front seat backs may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the side airbag may not deploy properly in a crash.
Safety Risk:
An airbag that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to verify that the fasteners for the side airbags and seat back modules are properly tightened.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
