What happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2005-2006 Ford GT vehicles that were sold or registered in high-humidity regions including Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia. The passenger-side frontal air bag inflators in these vehicles may rupture during deployment due to excessive internal pressure, potentially causing metal fragments to strike occupants and result in serious injury or death.

Ford will notify owners and replace the inflators at no cost. The recall began on January 30, 2015. Affected owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 14S28. Note that this recall addresses only the front passenger air bag inflators; driver-side air bag inflators are covered under a separate recall (14V-343).
