[QUOTE="mwilson6192, post: 16134114, member: 144793"] Not to belabor the point, but initially the NHTSA did seem to have a regional prioritization recall on the passenger side airbag. Unlike the driver airbag recall which was unequivocal, the passenger airbag recall seems to have morphed to the recent full replacement including additional year Mustangs. From the NHTSA 1/11/2018 Campaign: [URL='https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2013/FORD/MUSTANG/C/RWD#recalls451']January 11, 2018 NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V046000 [color=#ff0000]Passenger Frontal Air Bag Inflator May Explode[/color] An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. [/URL] [b]NHTSA Campaign Number: [/b]18V046000 [b]Manufacturer [/b]Ford Motor Company [b]Components [/b]AIR BAGS [b]Potential Number of Units Affected [/b]327,796 [b]Summary[/b] [color=#ff0000][b]Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013 Ford Mustang vehicles sold, or ever registered in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands or "[U]Zone A[/U]."[/b][/color] Additionally, Ford is recalling certain 2010 Ford Edge, Fusion, Mustang and Ranger, Lincoln MKX and Zephyr/MKZ, and Mercury Milan vehicles ever registered in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia or "Zone B." Ford is also recalling certain 2009 Ford Edge, Fusion, Mustang and Ranger, Lincoln MKX and Zephyr/MKZ, and Mercury Milan vehicles ever registered in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming or "Zone C." 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. [b]Remedy[/b] Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S01. A map as well: [size=5][b][b]Recall Zones Based on Temperature and Humidity[/b][/b][/size] Because these airbags become increasingly unstable in persistently high humidity and temperatures, NHTSA has broken the U.S. and its territories into three zones based on recall priority. This categorization is based on the state’s weather conditions and the likelihood of Takata airbag components degradation. [size=4][b][b]Takata Recall Zones[/b][/b][/size] [ATTACH=full]1553321[/ATTACH] [size=4][b][b]Zone A[/b][/b][/size] This is the highest priority zone. If you receive a recall notice and live in one of the following states, seek repairs immediately. [LIST] [*]Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. [/LIST] [size=4][b][b]Zone B[/b][/b][/size] Vehicles in Zone B are in the second highest priority zone. While not as urgent as Zone A, drivers should seek vehicle repairs the moment parts become available. [LIST] [*]Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. [/LIST] [size=4][b][b]Zone C[/b][/b][/size] Although Zone C is the lowest priority, taking immediate action the moment parts become available to you will keep you and your loved ones safe.
