REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

NHTSA and Takata have determined that the propellant in certain Takata airbag inflators can experience an alteration over time with exposure to certain climate conditions. A combination of time, high temperature fluctuations, and humidity contribute to the degradation of the propellant in the inflators. This degradation can cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating high pressure inside the inflator, and in extreme cases causing the inflator to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. A ruptured inflator can send inflator parts toward vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. Additional information regarding Takata recalls can be found at www.nhtsa.gov and www.safercar.gov.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Dealers are to replace the driver frontal airbag inflator or module and related components as directed in the Technical Information attachments. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

Dealers should also check OASIS to determine if safety recall 19S01 is open for the passenger side airbag. If safety recall 19S01 is open, then it must be completed in addition to safety recall 21S12.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters are expected to begin mailing April 1, 2021. Due to parts not being available in sufficient quantities to service all of the affected vehicles, some vehicle owners will be advised to wait until they receive an additional notification on parts availability to schedule their recall repair. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships for which parts are available, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

 

SOLD VEHICLES

  • Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles.
  • Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
  • Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
  • Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.

Dear Customer,

Your dealer is unable to complete the Takata airbag recall repair on your vehicle because the airbag in your vehicle is either deployed, missing, or has incompatible parts installed from a preexisting condition. The Takata airbag recall covers the cost of parts and labor for replacing the defective airbag inflator or module, but not the entire airbag system.

Your dealer has verified that the safety risk associated with the airbag inflators, and the reason for this recall, is not currently present on your vehicle. However, because your vehicle’s airbags are either deployed, missing, or have incompatible parts installed, your vehicle’s airbags may not operate as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury or death. You are responsible for the cost of restoring your vehicle’s airbag system.  If the recall condition is present once the airbag system is restored, your dealer will replace the airbag inflators free of charge.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY PROVIDES DETAILS ON TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA

MAR 12, 2021 | DEARBORN, MICH.

DEARBORN, Mich., March 12, 2021 – Today, Ford Motor Company announced details of two safety recalls in North America.

 

Ford proceeds with previously announced safety recall for multiple vehicles with certain Takata driver-side front airbag inflators, in accordance with NHTSA’s denial of Ford’s petition

In affected vehicles, the driver-side front airbag inflators were installed as original equipment and contain a calcium sulfate desiccant. Takata determined that desiccated propellant in these inflators may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause an inflator to rupture during airbag deployment. While this condition could result in serious injury or death, Ford is not aware of any reports of a rupture of an airbag with calcium sulfate desiccant.

Unlike previously recalled Takata airbag parts, these driver-side airbags contain a moisture-absorbing desiccant and perform differently. Ford believes its extensive data demonstrates that a safety recall is not warranted for the driver-side airbag and in August 2017 petitioned the National Highway Traffic Administration. However, the company respects NHTSA’s decision issued in January 2021 to deny Ford’s petition and is proceeding with this recall accordingly.

This action affects approximately 2.6 million vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 274,737 in Canada and 46,078 in Mexico. It includes 2006-12 Ford Fusion, 2007-10 Ford Edge, 2007-11 Ford Ranger, 2006-11 Mercury Milan, 2006-12 Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ, and 2007-10 Lincoln MKX vehicles.

Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag inflator or airbag module. Owner notifications will begin the week of April 1.

The Ford reference number for this recall is 21S12.

 

Safety recall issued to recover 19 tires over-cured by the supplier

According to defect notification 21T-001 filed by Continental Tire of America, certain tires supplied to Ford and other auto manufacturers may have cured beyond specification. Affected tires may experience a framework break in the sidewall, with sudden air loss, or a belt edge separation that could lead to a partial or full tread/belt loss. While these conditions may increase the risk of a crash, Ford is not aware of any related reports of accident or injury.

This action affects 15,769 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 3,082 in Canada and 138 in Mexico. Covered vehicles include select 2018-20 Ford F-250 and F-350, select 2018 F-150, and select 2019 Ford Escape vehicles.

Dealers will inspect tires and replace those that match the suspect tire list provided by Continental Tire of America. In those cases, dealers will also replace the corresponding tire on the opposite side of the axle. If a pair of tires is replaced, the new tires will be installed/moved to the rear axle.

Owner notifications will begin the week of March 29.

The Ford reference number for this recall is 21S10.

 


Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination

 

Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.

 

June 2016.  At NHTSA’s request, Ford and Takata initiated a voluntary project to recover and evaluate PSDI-5 inflators that use calcium sulfate as a desiccant from certain Ford vehicles operated in three climate zones (FL, MI, AZ).

 

March 2017 – July 2017.  Data on field return parts gathered by Takata on both Nissan and Ford parts was reviewed with the Agency.  Additional Ford inflators were subjected to live dissections as well as ballistic testing and pressure measurements.  Ford met with the Agency in Washington, D.C. to review current test data as well as discuss expanding the parts harvest program to additional vehicle platforms and geographic areas.

 

July 10, 2017. As directed by NHTSA, Takata submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) to NHTSA on all PSDI-5 driver side airbag inflators that use “2004” generate with calcium sulfate as a desiccant

 

On August 16, 2017. Ford timely filed an inconsequentiality petition for relief from notification and remedy requirements under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act for the subject airbag inflators.

 

August 2017 – January 2021

Ford harvested parts from customer vehicles and the parts were evaluated by Takata and other independent experts.  Ford met with the Agency throughout the time period and provided updates on the status of the evaluations as well as expected service life projections.

 

January 19, 2021.  NHTSA denied Ford’s petition and directed Ford to submit to NHTSA a proposed schedule for the notification of vehicle owners and the launch of a remedy.

 

March 3, 2021.  Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the topic.  Ford has not made a determination that a safety related defect exists in the subject vehicles, and Ford believes, that based on the scientific and factual data to date, that the desiccated inflators in the subject vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety.  However, Ford will abide by the Agency’s decision and conduct a safety recall on the subject vehicles in accordance with the plan discussed with NHTSA in February 2021.
