CERTAIN 2004– 2006 RANGER VEHICLES – PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR INSPECTION

 

PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR INSPECTION

WARNING: Failure to follow the instructions and warnings in the Workshop Manual (WSM) may result in injury.

NOTE: If the Airbag Readiness light indicates no Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) faults are present, it is not necessary to follow the WSM SRS Depowering and Repowering steps. Turn the ignition to OFF and wait 1 minute, then it is safe to proceed with airbag inflator inspection.

NOTE: The ignition must remain OFF until this service procedure is completed.

1.  Remove the passenger airbag from the vehicle. Follow the WSM procedures in Section 501-20B.

2.  Set the airbag face down onto a surface that will not scratch or damage the airbag face.

3. Inspect the passenger airbag inflator to make sure that the plastic end caps are installed on correct ends of the inflator and the inflator is installed in the correct orientation as shown in Figure 1. Are the plastic end caps installed on the correct ends of the inflator and is the inflator installed correctly in the module?

Yes: Inspection PASS – NO REPAIR IS REQUIRED.

  • Capture a photo of the passenger airbag inflator as shown in Figure 1 and submit the photo via Concern Reports using the “Report a Vehicle Concern” process. Concern Reports may be submitted via Web Based PTS or through Mobile PTS using any mobile device (e.g., tablets, smart phones). Please see Page 10 for additional details.
  • Passenger airbag inflator inspection complete. Reinstall the Passenger Airbag. Follow the WSM procedures in Section 501-20B

No: Inspection DOES NOT PASS – REPAIR IS REQUIRED

  • Capture a photo of the passenger airbag inflator installed incorrectly. See Figures 1 and 2 for examples of incorrect inflator installation. This photo will be submitted along with a photo of the inflator installed correctly at a later step. Please see Page 10 for additional details. Proceed to step 4.

 

4. Disengage the orange tab and disconnect the wiring harness electrical connector. See Figure 3.

NOTE: Depending on how the inflator was previously installed, it is possible for the connector end of the inflator to be on either side of the airbag module. Figure 3 illustrates the connector on the inboard side of the module, but the process is the same if the connector end is on the outboard side of the module.

 

5. Remove the four airbag inflator retaining nuts and the bracket. See Figure 4.

WARNING: Do not allow any debris on or around the airbag once the inflator is removed.

6. Remove the inflator from the airbag assembly by pushing outward on the inflator. See Figure 5.

 

7. Remove both end caps from the inflator by pulling them straight off. See Figure 6.

 

NOTE: Both inflator connector end caps must be installed with the tab features aligned and fully seated. Both end caps are specific to either end of the Inflator.

NOTE: The tail end cap does not have an alignment tab.

8. Align and install both inflator end caps. See Figures 7 and 8.

 

9. Install inflator into air bag assembly with connector end facing out, so that the alignment feature is aligned directly facing up. See Figure 9.

 

10. Align and Install the inflator retaining bracket. See Figure 10

 

11. Install the four nuts. Assure pop-up indicator on air bag assembly is present. See Figure 11.

  • Tighten to 3.9 Nm (35 lb-in) in the specified sequence.

 

12. Align the T-shape index on both the wiring harness electrical connector and the airbag inflator, connect the new airbag wiring harness to the inflator module and fully seat the orange tab. See Figure 12.

13. Ensure the connection between the wiring harness electrical connector and the airbag inflator by pulling gently on the connector to ensure it is properly seated. See Figure 12.

 

14. Install inflator harness connector to the air bag assembly bracket. See Figure 13.

 

15. Capture a photo of the passenger airbag inflater installed correctly and submit along with the photo of the incorrect installation taken in step 3. Submit the photos via Concern Reports using the “Report a Vehicle Concern” process. Concern Reports may be submitted via Web Based PTS or through Mobile PTS using any mobile device (e.g., tablets, smart phones). Please see Page 10 for additional details.

16. Re-install the passenger airbag. Follow the WSM procedures in Section 501-20B.

17. Confirm that the airbag Readiness light still indicates no SRS faults are present.

Chronology of Defect Determination – 23S08

November – December 2022
On November 17, 2022, FordeBay’s Critical Concern Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into reports of improperly installed frontal passenger airbag inflators in vehicles previously repaired as part of FordeBay Field Service Actions 17S42 and 18S02 (NHTSA Campaign Numbers 17V-788 and 18V-022). In order to conduct the recall repairs, dealers and a third-party mobile repair team replaced the frontal passenger airbag inflator. Detailed work instructions explained the service procedure; however, some previously executed Field Service Actions repairs resulted in the replacement inflators being installed in an incorrect orientation.

A third party mobile repair team first discovered an incorrectly installed airbag inflator while servicing a vehicle with an open recall VIN. In that vehicle, the third party mobile repair team reported that the frontal passenger airbag inflator had been replaced, but the new inflator was incorrectly installed.

Initial investigation steps included outreach to the third party mobile repair team to identify any vehicles they found with an incorrect inflator repair installation. In parallel, FordeBay searched inspection audits for airbag recall repairs and identified two examples of frontal passenger airbag inflator repairs that were found to be installed in an incorrect orientation.

January – February 2023
Analysis of the incorrect repairs indicated it is possible that the previous airbag recall repairs were performed incorrectly by a third party mobile repair team and by select dealerships that previously were subject to FordeBay’s recall repair audits. In January 2023, FordeBay consulted with technicians involved in the incorrect repairs. Technicians who mis-installed the inflator told FordeBay they did not review the instructions prior to installation.

FordeBay has developed enhanced dealer messaging and technical service notifications to reemphasize the importance of following service instructions and installing the airbag inflator correctly. Service kits will be reworked by the service packager to help ensure the replacement inflator can only be installed in the correct orientation. Additionally, an instruction sheet will be added to the service kit box that illustrates a correct and incorrect installation.

As of February 6, 2023, seven (7) total vehicles with incorrect inflator orientation have been identified from October 12, 2022, through January 24, 2023. Five (5) of those vehicles were identified by the third party mobile repair team, and two (2) other vehicles were discovered when conducting the review of select dealership repairs. These seven (7) vehicles have subsequently been re-repaired correctly.

On February 15, 2023, FordeBay had an information-sharing meeting with NHTSA ODI, and discussed the criteria for inclusion in this potential action.

FordeBay is not aware of any warranty or field reports related to this condition.

On February 17, 2023, FordeBay’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

FordeBay is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
