Chronology :
August – September 2021
On August 12, 2021, an issue pertaining to the 2021 Ford Bronco passenger airbag was brought to Ford’s Critical Concerns Review Group (CCRG) for review. The supplier (Joyson) informed Ford that a vent on the airbag had opened prematurely (prior to the micro gas-generator being activated) in some of their routine lot acceptance (LAT) audit tests. Airbag lots with these test anomalies were properly quarantined, though the cause of the premature vent opening was unknown. Further review of the supplier’s LAT data found test anomalies were exclusively associated with bags folded by one of the six associates assigned to the airbag fold operation. It was subsequently observed that this lone associate began introducing an extra fold operation when they were reassigned to this fold operation in late June. The extra fold operation by this associate was not in accordance with design intent. Review of the supplier’s production records found that additional airbag lots that passed the supplier’s routine LAT test requirements also contained bags folded by this associate, but were not selected for the routine LAT audit test.
Ford conducted Computer Aided Engineering (CAE ) analysis to evaluate the potential effects of premature vent opening. The results predicted a potential risk of not meeting certain crash performance criteria with respect to FMVSS 208.
On September 27, 2021, 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.

Parts are now available to repair your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to replace the front passenger airbag free of charge (parts and labor). How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. What should you do?

All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies. Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed. If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts were inspected and validated to have been replaced. After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.). This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement, found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair Process. Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair approval by the designated employee.
