Ford Motor Company "Ford" is recalling certain 2023 F-150 and Ford SD F250, F350, F450, F550, and F600 vehicles. The steering wheel clock spring may have an insufficient weld, causing a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.
A deactivated air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will inspect and replace the clock spring as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notifications explaining the safety risk were mailed January 31, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated 2nd Quarter 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
