## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and 2010\-2012 Lincoln MKZ vehicles that previously received a replacement passenger air bag under recall 16V\-384, 17V\-024 or 18V\-046.  In the event of a crash requiring deployment of the passenger air bag, the bracket that secures the air bag inflator to the module housing may deform, allowing the gas that inflates the air bag to leak out.


## What can happen

If the air bag does not inflate as intended, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag module, free of charge.  The recall began November 21, 2018.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 18S34.


## 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.
