# NHTSA recall 16V384000 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: 16V384000 - Manufacturer's number: 19S01 - Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company - Reported: 2016\-05\-31 - Owners notified: 2018\-02\-02 - Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE - Units potentially affected: 1892343 ## What is wrong Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2007\-2011 Ford Ranger vehicles, 2006\-2011 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ vehicles, 2007\-2010 Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX vehicles, 2005\-2006 Ford GT vehicles, and 2005\-2011 Ford Mustang vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands \(Saipan\), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or "Zone A." Additionally, unless included in "Zone A" above, Ford is recalling certain model year 2007\-2008 Ford Ranger, Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles, 2006\-2008 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ vehicles, 2005\-2006 Ford GT vehicles and 2005\-2008 Ford Mustang vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B." Any vehicle not included in "Zone A", or "Zone B" is not included in the safety recall. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. ## What can happen An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle 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 passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. Ford mailed interim letters informing owners that parts are not yet available on July 15, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S01. ## Notes Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 6, for 2019 quarter 2 - Filed with NHTSA: 2019\-07\-30 - Vehicles in the campaign: 1892343 - Reported remedied: 462303 \(24%\) - Reported unreachable: 212016 - Reported removed: 9597 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2019 quarter 2, as filed with NHTSA.
