# Service bulletin SSM 51998

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

Some 2023 Escape/Corsair vehicles built on 6\-Apr\-2023 and through 11\-May\-2023 and 2023 Bronco Sport/Maverick vehicles built on 30\-Jan\-2023 and through 6\-Jun\-2023 may exhibit an illuminated air bag warning indicator with DTC B0082:1A stored in the restraints control module \(RCM\). This may be due to an issue with the passenger seatbelt retractor at connector C303B. If a connection issue is found, replace the passenger front seatbelt retractor and pretensioner assembly before attempting a wiring repair. This issue does not affect the proper operation of the air bags, retractor and pretensioner. Refer to the Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 501\-20A Seatbelt Systems \> Removal and Installation. For claiming, use causal part 78611B08 and applicable labor times in Section 12 of the Service Labor Time Standards \(SLTS\) Manual.
