# NHTSA recall 15V319000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. **NHTSA advises: do not drive until the repair is done.** - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 15V319000 - Manufacturer's number: 15S21 - Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company - Reported: 2015\-05\-28 - Owners notified: 2016\-06\-10 - Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE - Units potentially affected: 1018622 ## What is wrong Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2005\-2014 Mustang vehicles manufactured April 6, 2004, to June 21, 2014, and 2005\-2006 GT vehicles manufactured February 20, 2004, to September 22, 2006. The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual\-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture. ## What can happen In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. ## The remedy Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driver side air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on June 10, 2016. Even if interim repairs were performed under safety recall 14V\-802, owners must bring their vehicles in for the final remedy. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.
