Defect SummaryFord is recalling certain model year 2005 and 2006 f-150 pick up trucks manufactured at the norfolk assembly plant from november 1, 2004, through june 30, 2005. if the clockspring jumper wire comes in contact with the driver side frontal air bag lower horn plate, the wire insulation may become chafed, creating a potential for a short circuit. if this occurs the air bag warning lamp may illuminate indicating that service is required.
Consequence SummaryThe driver side frontal air bag could inadvertently deploy increasing the risk of injury or loss of vehicle control if occurring while in motion.
Corrective SummaryFord will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicles to a ford or lincoln/mercury dealer to have a new clockspring jumper wire installed that incorporates a protective mesh cover. repairs will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
NotesFord's recall campaign number is 11s18.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

 Odi opened this investigation based on reports of inadvertent airbag deployment.data provided by ford indicated that the airbag clockspring jumper wire, which is situated inside the steering wheel assembly, was installed in a manner that would allow it to rub (abrade) against a sharp metal edge on the nearby horn plate.because the horn plate is electrically grounded the abrasion of an airbag wire on the sharp edge could cause a short circuit condition.as a result the airbag light may illuminate and/or the airbag may inadvertently deploy.inadvertent deployments are most likely to occur during the airbag system's self-diagnostic test that initiates when the ignition switch is turned on.ford modified the vehicle design in late january 2006 adding a protective tape over the sharp metal edge of the horn plate.ford made additional design changes on my 2007 vehicles to the horn plate, the clockspring jumper, and the connector layouts to further address this issue.odi identified 318 deployment incidents with 121 alleged injury reports from subject vehicles.all but one of the incident and injury reports occurred in vehicles built before the january 2006 modification.in addition, there was one incident and alleged injury reported in the my 2006 mark lt vehicles that share the same design. in letters dated february 21 and april 11, 2011, ford announced a recall of all of the approximately 1.3 million my 2004-2006 f-150 vehicles built prior to january 24, 2006, the date the initial vehicle modification was made.in addition, approximately 14,000 my 2006 mark lt vehicles built prior to january 24, 2006 will also be recalled.vehicles built after that date, which contain the modification, are not within the recall scope.accordingly the investigation is closed.

 After driving through a shallow (less than 6 inches deep) puddle, my airbag light illuminated on my dashboard, accompanied by a warning chime. the ford service department diagnosed the problem as a faulty front impact sensor, which shorted out. the shorted sensor, in turn, shorted out the entire restraint system module (the brain box ). after investigating on the internet, i have found several other people with similar problems. it seems that the location of the front impact sensor, placed on the hood latch support, makes the sensor susceptible to water infiltration. corrosion then causes the sensor to fail. furthermore, with the freeze-thaw cycle in michigan, water that is allowed to enter the sensor can eventually crack the housing, allowing even more moisture to get inside. the fact that the entire restraint system module was destroyed by the short in one impact sensor is quite disconcerting. the system should be engineered to prevent such catastrophic electrical damage. it appears that the sensor design and placement was poorly engineered for vehicles in the northern climate where the freeze-thaw cycle and road salt are present.
