These vehicles are equipped with air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, used as original equipment or replacement equipment \(such as after a vehicle crash necessitating replacement of the original air bags\), that may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.


## What can happen

## 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.  The recall began February 13, 2019.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall 19S01.
