NHTSA Campaign 18V775000
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Issued by Ford Motor Company · Reported Nov 1, 2018 · 215 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and 2010-2012 Lincoln MKZ vehicles that previously received a replacement passenger air bag under recall 16V-384, 17V-024 or 18V-046. In the event of a crash requiring deployment of the passenger air bag, the bracket that secures the air bag inflator to the module housing may deform, allowing the gas that inflates the air bag to leak out.
Consequence
If the air bag does not inflate as intended, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag module, free of charge. The recall began November 21, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S34.
