Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 vehicles across different geographic zones due to a defect in passenger frontal air bag inflators. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, potentially sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants and causing serious injury or death. The affected vehicles include 2014 Ford Mustangs in high-humidity states (Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and U.S. territories); 2011 Ford Rangers, Mercury Milans, Ford Fusions, Lincoln Zephyrs/MKZs, and 2011-2014 Ford Mustangs in mid-range humidity states; and 2010-2014 Mustangs, 2010-2011 Rangers and Mercury Milans, and 2010-2012 Fusions and Lincoln Zephyrs/MKZs in cooler, drier states.
Ford began notifying owners on February 13, 2019, and will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator free of charge at authorized dealerships. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair is completed. Affected consumers should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or reference recall number 19S01 when scheduling their free replacement.
