I had the air bags replaced, after new airbags were installed. Air bag warning light was flashing, code 27, which means passenger air bag bypass module # f81b-14bz68-ad. Module had a bad indicator lamp which in turns disables the entire air bag system. So in my opinion Ford should repair this so that I can have air bags to protect me. With this lamp not fixed I have no air bags, so the recall was useless. I need this fixed and think it should be considered a safety issue along with the air bag recall. I spoke to Ford and they informed me that it was or maybe is an issue, no commitment there. I cannot afford the inspection costs but you tube gave me all the information I need to know, the $89 for inspection and $125. For parts and installation are way out of my budget. This is a safety matter that needs to be addressed. Yes this is a constant condition to the Ford Ranger as it sites now. The you tube site I used www,youtube.
