American Furukawa Steering Column Control: Air Bags recall
NHTSA campaign 24E040000 · 86K units potentially affected · filed May 29, 2024
What's wrong
American Furukawa submitted a defect information report based upon the recall determinations made by Toyota (23V-480), Ford (23V-847), and Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) (24V-199, 24E-025). Certain clock springs installed in steering column control modules may have been contaminated during the manufacturing process, which can cause electrical failure and deactivate the driver's air bag.
Why it matters
A deactivated air bag cannot deploy as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
