Airbags are not faulty if you look at sticker they have warning due to old age the plastic becomes brittle and can cause fragments to impale driver only way to prevent this is not replace the airbag but to cover with duct tape, this recall needs to be updated takata is not responsible, they operate as designed as I said the air bag fill with high pressure air and in older cars will crack plastic cover. Please update this recall this is not a manufacturer error.

Ford announced NHTSA recall 22v337 on may 16, 2022. In December 2022, they advised about the remedy, to have the steering wheel clock spring replaced, and that parts were "anticipated to be available early first quarter 2023". My 2016 Ford F-350 had the airbag warning indicator warning light on indicating a malfunction. My local authorized Ford dealer, capital city Ford in pierre, south dakota, checked my pickup's system and verified the clock spring recall was indeed the reason for the circuit disconnect. The clock spring needed to be replaced. My airbag would not work until it was replaced. My 15 year old daughter will be driving that pickup, pulling a horse trailer with her horses in it, going to high school rodeos. Not having an operable air bag is not an option. My local dealer ordered a clock spring, which arrived in two days, installed it and everything works just fine - air bag and all gauges controlled by the steering wheel buttons. Ford won't pay for it. I had to pay for it. $239. 58 parts and labor. Clearly the part is available, my dealer was able to get one. Why is Ford not having dealers repair this, let alone repair it free of charge per the recall??? I cannot afford to have to pay $239. 58 for Ford's recall but more importantly I could not afford to have my daughter possibly being in a crash with an airbag that won't deploy. How can I receive compensation from Ford? please and thank you for your time, misty korkow clair.

Just had to pay $239. 58 for my steering wheel clock spring Ford F-350 “recall” for the parts and labor. The dealership said that Ford still has not "provided parts" for the recall. The dealership was able to get the clock spring part and replace it but had to charge me. I paid for it because I’m not driving my vehicle with no operable diver-side air bag. Ford knows that the clock spring needs to be replaced for the air bag to work. How is that possible that they can not pay for the parts and labor and have a 1 ton pickup with no operable airbag? Ford webiste chat told me all recalls will be covered - parts and labor. Plz advise.

There is an "advanced" recall on the clockspring contamination on my vehicle. The local Ford dealership is stating that they do not have access to the parts to fix this issue, as it's an advanced warning. The issue is that the truck is having the malfunction. The buttons on the steering wheel do not work, which is now causing me to not be able to see the display b/c it's blocked by a warning, the airbag light is on which is an indication that it does not work. Ford won't look at it without charging $200 for diagnostics and then I will be responsible for paying for the repairs, even if it has to do with the recall. They aren't even sure if the truck can be repaired because they don't have the parts for the repair?????? this is a safety issue, and is basically forcing me to find another vehicle to drive since the airbags are showing they won't work. I also can't use the handsfree phone options since the buttons don't work on the steering wheel. Need to know when the parts are going to actually be available.

Air bag light illuminated on 2014 Ford f350. Recall on other year models but not on my year model . With light illuminated the air bag circuit is open therefore the airbag system is usless which is a safety issue.

This is a design issue. The 2005 Ford f350 has a large part of its rear bumpers' horizontal surface removed. The bumper is then covered in a hard plastic. I stepped off the deck of my truck onto the bumper and the plastic surface gave way. I almost broke my ankle and lost my balance , not because the plastic broke through , it just had way too much flex in it. I've tried to deal with Ford CO regarding this but as you probably know ,they want zero to do with the retail / post wholesale apparatus. I was told to talk to the dealer. I would have more competence and honest feedback from my dog.

I broadsided a Ford ranger that ran a stop sign. Traveling at 35 to 45 mph. It was a direct hit and neither air bag went off. My insurance company has the truck and is looking into the failure. Ft. Worth police officer said he had seen a 1000 wrecks and if that wreck did not set them off they must be defective.
