CERTAIN 2021 MODEL YEAR MUSTANG VEHICLES – FRONT PASSENGER KNEE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACEMENT

Date of Submission: 2/16/2022
FSA #22S07 – Certain 2021 and 2022 model year Ford Mustang vehicles – Front Passenger Knee Airbag Weld Separation
Chronology
On September 28, 2021, the Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) reviewed a report of a front passenger knee airbag that exhibited weld separation between the bladder and outer door during testing being conducted related to a previous anomaly (weld separation between the bladder and inner door).
The concern was identified by the front passenger knee airbag supplier, Faurecia, on September 20, 2021, after heat aging 25 passenger knee airbags and deploying at cold temperature (-20C). One knee airbag exhibited weld separation between the bladder and outer door resulting in loss of pressure within the bladder. The remaining 24 knee airbags performed per design intent. An additional 3 heat aged knee airbags were deployed at ambient temperature in linear impact testing resulting in acceptable performance.
October – November 2021 – Supplier Technical Assistance (STA) team conducted root cause analysis for the weld separation. Based upon elimination of all unique potential root causes, the team concluded that the cause of the weld failure was related to the original anomaly, weld separation between the bladder and inner door. The root cause for the original anomaly was a set up issue on the knee airbag hot plate welder during a tool changeover on August 20, 2021. On August 24, 2021, Faurecia reset process parameters and conducted weld testing to confirm proper weld strength. The front passenger knee airbags produced at Faurecia between August 20, 2021 and August 24, 2021 are considered suspect.
Full traceability between the front passenger knee airbag inflator serial numbers and the vehicle VIN’s enabled the team to determine the suspect vehicle population that escaped Ford assembly plant.
December 2021 – Vehicle level Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) was conducted by Ford’s Vehicle Crash Safety team simulating the concern in an unbelted frontal crash mode. The results indicated a small kinematic difference in head positioning during the event.
January 2022 – CCRG determined that while the CAE resulted in a small kinematic effect to occupant, the concern may represent an increased risk to occupant safety as the deployment does not meet design intent.
On February 9, 2022, 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.

Es posible que en su vehículo existan soldaduras de plástico inadecuadas entre los componentes del módulo de la bolsa de aire de rodillas del pasajero delantero. ¿Qué riesgo existe?

Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a reemplazar la bolsa de aire de rodillas del pasajero sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra). ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo necesario para reparar será menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más. ¿Qué debe hacer?

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, it is possible there are inadequate plastic welds between components of the front passenger knee air bag module bladder. If the front passenger knee airbag weld integrity is compromised during deployment, it may not provide design intent occupant knee restraint and increase the risk of injury during a crash event that necessitates knee airbag deployment. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace the front passenger knee airbag module. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of March 7, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. 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 $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

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.

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.

Remove and replace the passenger knee airbag. Please follow the Workshop Manual (WSM) procedure in Section 501-20B. Version 04-23-19 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 22S07 Ford and Lincoln dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or from the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 22S07 owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to March 25, 2022. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency situation, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan (As submitted to the NHTSA) Pursuant to the requirements set forth in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting required information pertaining to our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safely-related defects or noncompliances pursuant to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to a specified ending date. In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners, and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of: The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste) and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different than the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall, and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process. Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted: Claimant name and address Vehicle make, model, and model year Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size and TIN (DOT code) Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number) Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement. If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications pursuant to Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.
