2023 Ford F-150, Ford F-250 SD, Ford F-350 SD +more: Air Bags recall
NHTSA campaign 23V847000 · 18K units potentially affected · filed Dec 15, 2023
What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023 F-150 and Ford SD F250, F350, F450, F550, and F600 vehicles. The steering wheel clock spring may have an insufficient weld, causing a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.
Why it matters
A deactivated air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the clock spring as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 3, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
