Service bulletin 21B71-S1

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Certain 2013 Model Year Fusion Vehicles - Driver Airbag Module Replacement: The program is a proactive effort to gather parts for research. Ford is voluntarily conducting this program to replace certain airbag modules manufactured by Takata Corporation on vehicles always registered and always residing in Florida. The replacement module being installed contains an inflator that was manufactured by a different supplier (does not contain a Takata inflator) and does not contain ammonium nitrate. The purpose of this program is to obtain field parts for testing and evaluation.
