Vehicles Affected: Approximately 594,785 model-year 2013-14 Ford C-Max and Escape vehicles

The Problem: A programming error could delay side curtain airbag deployment in a rollover crash. This increases the risk of injury.

The Fix: Dealers will reprogram the restraint control module for free.

What Owners Should Do: Ford will notify owners starting May 26. Owners can call Ford at 800-392-3673 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 for more information.
