Inoperative

WARNING: CARRY A LIVE AIR BAG MODULE WITH THE AIR BAG AND TRIM COVER OR DEPLOYMENT DOOR POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. THIS WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.

NOTE: All inoperative air bag module and safety belt pretensioners have been placed on the Mandatory Return list. All discolored or damaged air bag modules must be treated the same as any inoperative live air bag being returned.







1. Remove the inoperative component from the vehicle.
2. If installing a new driver air bag module:
1 For a new driver air bag module record the necessary information and return the inoperative driver air bag module to Ford Motor Company.
2 For a new passenger air bag module record the necessary information and return the inoperative driver air bag module to Ford Motor Company.

NOTE: When installing a new air bag module, a prepaid return postcard is provided with the replacement air bag module. The serial number for the new part and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be recorded and sent to Ford Motor Company.
