Description
Obsolete service replacement airbag modules may have been installed into vehicles during a collision or service repair after a final takata airbag recall repair was completed. There is no issue with the airbags used in the recall repair. However, if after the recall was completed, the driver or passenger airbag was subsequently replaced during a collision or service repair, the airbag(s) may contain a defective airbag inflator.
Safety Risk
Defective airbag inflators may explode in a crash that causes deployment of the airbags. If an inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike vehicle occupants, causing serious injury or death.
Remedy
Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to inspect and replace the driver and/or passenger airbag(s) if necessary, free of charge (parts and labor).
