Clock spring Inspection and Replacement
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| F-150 | 2023 | Dearborn | March 13, 2023 through June 15, 2023 |
| Kansas City | January 3, 2023 through June 8, 2023 | ||
| F-150 Lightning | 2023 | Rouge Electrical | March 31, 2023 through May 2, 2023 |

| Ohio | March 27, 2023 through June 21, 2023 |
US population of affected vehicles: 17,969. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the steering wheel clock spring assembly may have an insufficient weld between the bus bar and the ribbon cable which can lead to a loss of electrical connection to the driver front airbag. This will result in the illumination of the airbag warning lamp. The customer may also notice loss of illumination and function of switches on the steering wheel (e.g. radio controls) or an inoperative horn. A driver airbag that does not deploy when intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers in second quarter, 2024 when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall. For new vehicle storage guidelines, refer to EFC13033, Storage Guidelines for New Vehicles.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $26,315 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES
The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) Recall No. 23S63 Chronology
CERTAIN 2023 MODEL YEAR F-150 AND SUPER DUTY VEHICLES – DRIVER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
Date of Submission: December 15, 2023
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
November – December 2023
On November 8, 2023, the Tier 1 supplier, BCS Automotive Interface Solutions (“BCS”), notified Ford that it would be filing an equipment recall report with NHTSA related to airbag clock springs supplied to BCS by a sub-supplier, American Furukawa. BCS told Ford that certain clock spring assemblies used in Steering Column Control Modules (SCCM) supplied to Ford by BCS may have been contaminated in the sub-supplier’s manufacturing process.
On November 9, 2023 2023 the issue pertaining to contaminated clock springs was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review and an investigation was opened. Concurrent with the initiation of the CCRG investigation, Ford started working with BCS to analyze production and shipping records provided by BCS to understand which Ford assembly facilities and vehicle lines were supplied with SCCMs that may contain the subject clock springs.
On November 14, 2023, BCS filed an equipment recall report with NHTSA which was provided by NHTSA to Ford on December 4, 2023.
Through November, Ford continued to work with BCS to review supplier production and shipping records, as well as supplier technical reports. Using serial numbers supplied by BCS, Ford traced the SCCMs provided by BCS to the 2023 model year F-150 and Super Duty vehicles in which they were installed.
Ford searched warranty, customer and field reports as well as connected vehicle data to identify reports that may be related to open circuits caused by insufficient welding of the bus bar and ribbon cable of the clock spring assembly. Ford also reviewed the SCCM circuitry diagram, which provides diagnostic path information, to verify that the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) reported in warranty and connected vehicle data could be related to open circuits resulting from the regions of insufficient welding. Additionally, the CCRG investigation confirmed that Ford’s assembly plant controls check for DTCs during end-of-line processes, and in the event an airbag DTC is present, the vehicle would not be permitted to leave plant control.
As of December 6, 2023, Ford is aware of 19 warranty reports received from May 1, 2023, through November 10, 2023, indicating open circuits that could potentially be related to the clock spring concern described in the supplier’s equipment recall report.
On December 8, 2023, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

Descriptive Information : Ford’s team reviewed supplier process records to determine the population of affected parts. The Ford process is capable of tracing Steering Column Control Modules with potentially affected clock spring assemblies to the vehicles in which the Steering Column Control Modules are installed. These vehicles are not produced in VIN order. Information as to the applicability of this action to specific vehicles can best be obtained by either calling Ford’s toll-free line (1-866-436-7332) or by contacting a local Ford or Lincoln dealer who can obtain specific information regarding the vehicles from the Ford On-line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) database. 3,337 F-250 vehicles are affected. 2,919 F-350 vehicles are affected. 680 F-450 vehicles are affected. 1,472 F-550 vehicles are affected. 281 F-600 vehicles are affected.
Production Dates : JAN 06, 2023 – AUG 02, 2023
VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) in affected vehicles may contain a clock spring assembly with an insufficient weld between the bus bar and the ribbon cable. The ribbon cable provides connectivity to the driver airbag. An insufficient weld can lead to a disconnection of ribbon cable circuits, resulting in a loss of electrical connection to the driver’s front airbag. As a consequence, the airbag warning light will illuminate and the driver airbag will not deploy when intended.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : A driver airbag that does not deploy when intended increases the risk of
injury in a crash.
Description of the Cause : During the sub-supplier’s manufacturing process, clock spring bus bars may have been washed in isopropyl alcohol contaminated with glycerin.
Contamination of bus bars with glycerin may result in an insufficient weld condition between the bus bar and the ribbon cable of the clock spring assembly. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : The customer may notice loss of illumination and function of switches on the steering wheel (e.g., radio controls), inoperative horn and an airbag warning lamp.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a
Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the steering wheel clock spring production date inspected. Clock springs with a suspect date will be replaced. There will be no charge for this service.
Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2023. The ending date for reimbursement eligibility is estimated to be January 5, 2024. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available.
How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production :
The remedy clock spring assemblies will contain properly welded internal components.
