On certain vehicles, the instrument panel may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the passenger-front airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. Additionally, when the airbag inflates, this problem could also cause the instrument panel to break, and pieces could be propelled toward vehicle occupants.
An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Pieces that are propelled towards vehicle occupants could create an increased risk of injury.
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the instrument panel assembly.
