## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company, \(Ford\) is conducting a regional recall for certain model year 2005\-2006 Ford GT vehicles vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in geographic locations associated with high absolute humidity.  Specifically, vehicles sold, or ever registered, in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Saipan, Guam, and American Samoa, as well as certain areas of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia, are included.  Upon deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.


## What can happen

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger’s frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inflators in all affected vehicles, free of charge.  The recall began January 30, 2015.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 14S28. NOTE: This recall supersedes, in part, safety recall 14V\-343 as to the front passenger air bag inflators only.  The driver's air bag inflators will continue to be addressed by that recall.
