| Super Duty | 2016 | Kentucky Truck | December 1, 2014 through July 5, 2016 |
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, an opening in the rotor component underneath the anti-rotation pin can allow dust/contamination to enter the internals of the steering wheel clock spring. The customer may observe a progression of symptoms as the clock spring ribbon cable begins to disconnect, beginning with a loss of steering wheel illumination followed by inoperative steering wheel control switches, inoperative horn and finally an airbag malfunction light. If the airbag circuit disconnects, and a crash event of sufficient severity warrants a driver front airbag deployment, the airbag will not deploy.
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 early third quarter when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall.
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 $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
October – December
On October 14, 2021, an issue pertaining to F-Super Duty steering wheel clock spring warranty was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review. NHTSA had contacted Ford in July 2021 regarding certain information contained in Ford’s 1Q2021 TREAD Early Warning Report (EWR). CCRG subsequently analyzed the same EWR data and found the majority of reports related either to the clock spring or the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM).
Engineering investigation found that dust ingress into the steering wheel assembly could result in increased friction at the clock spring ribbon/cable connector that rotates with the steering wheel. This ribbon cable provides electrical power to a variety of switch controls on the steering wheel (e.g. radio) as well as the driver airbag. Certain field return parts exhibited partial disconnection of the ribbon cable affecting the steering wheel switch controls and illumination. Other field return parts exhibited complete disconnection of all of the ribbon cable circuits.
December – March
CCRG continued its statistical analysis of the field data and reviewed the effect on vehicle operation. Symptoms associated with this subject were found to be progressive beginning with noise (popping or clicking). If allowed to progress and affect the ribbon cable connection, the ribbon cable connector would initially begin to disconnect at the side that controls switches on the steering wheel (e.g. radio controls and horn). Customer reports typically noted loss of switch illumination or loss of radio control or horn functionality, for example. Because the airbag controls are at the opposite end of the ribbon cable connector, airbag function would only be affected if the ribbon cable connector were to completely disconnect. Under this condition an airbag would not deploy if commanded. The airbag warning lamp would also illuminate.
Ford identified approximately 11,200 reports on 2016MY vehicles pertaining to an airbag light and/or associated DTC B0001 received between July 20, 2015 and December 10, 2021. A search found no accidents or injuries related to this issue.
April
Ford conducted its statistical analyses and statistical projections.
On May 6, 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.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, an opening in the rotor component underneath the anti-rotation pin can allow dust/contamination to enter the internals of the steering wheel clock spring. The customer may observe a progression of symptoms as the clock spring ribbon cable begins to disconnect, beginning with a loss of steering wheel illumination followed by inoperative steering wheel control switches, inoperative horn and finally an airbag malfunction light. If the airbag circuit disconnects, and a crash event of sufficient severity warrants a driver front airbag deployment, the airbag will not deploy. 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 early third quarter when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall. 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 $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery. QUESTIONS & ASSISTANCE For questions and assistance, contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site. The SSSC Web Contact Site can be accessed through the Professional Technician System (PTS) website using the SSSC link listed at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen or listed under the SSSC tab.

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. 153,307 F-250 Vehicles Affected 98,765 F-350 Vehicles Affected 21,113 F-450 Vehicles Affected 37,018 F-550 Vehicles Affected Production Dates : DEC 01, 2014 – JUL 05, 2016 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-337 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : The steering wheel clock spring could become contaminated with dust, which may cause increased friction of the internal ribbon cable that rotates with the steering wheel. This can lead to a disconnection of some or all the ribbon circuits. Should the ribbon cable disconnect, the electrical connection to the driver’s front airbag may be lost, causing the airbag warning lamp to illuminate. As a consequence, 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 : Dust contamination ingress into the steering wheel clock spring can increase the friction of the internal ribbon cable which rotates with the steering wheel. This can lead to backwinding or overwinding and disconnection of some or all the ribbon circuits. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The customer may notice a “popping” or “clicking” sound inside the steering wheel, loss of illumination and function of switches on the steering wheel (e.g. radio controls), inoperative horn and an airbag warning lamp.
