The affected vehicles were built from Nov. 6 through Nov. 15, 2011, and use software that could misclassify the size of the front-seat passenger, preventing the airbag from deploying or deploying unnecessarily. This could lead to an increased risk of injury to the front passenger. You can check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb.

Ford will notify owners starting May 21, and dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge. Owners can call Ford at 866-436-7332 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
