This could result in the air bag warning light illuminating and disabling of the air bag.  Correction:  Air bag sensors with revised wiring insulation will be installed.  Also, vehicles which have the air bag warning light illuminated will have a new air bag diagnostic monitor installed if required.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"99S23","part_number":null,"units":33029,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Sièges et dispositifs de retenue","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, il se peut qu’à la longue l’isolation du câble en tire-bouchon qui raccorde le capteur du coussin gonflable au circuit électrique devienne friable et se fissure en raison d’une accumulation d’eau dans la spirale de protection, des températures élevées sous le capot et du fait que le câble passe à proximité du radiateur. Il se pourrait alors que le témoin lumineux du coussin gonflable s’allume et que le coussin soit désactivé.  Correction : On devra poser de nouveaux capteurs de coussin gonflable et de nouveaux fils isolés. On devra aussi remplacer le module de diagnostic du coussin gonflable si la défectuosité a déclenché l’allumage du témoin lumineux."},"vehicles":[{"year":1998,"make":"FORD","model":"CONTOUR","vehicle_id":"1998_ford_contour","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"MERCURY","model":"MYSTIQUE","vehicle_id":"1998_mercury_mystique","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/1999164"}
