| SSM 51998 | 2023-11-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE; AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE. 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. |
