What's wrong, in plain English

On some Bronco vehicles, the side impact sensor on the right or left side may not be properly secured to the vehicle. This can cause the airbags to deploy when they shouldn't, or fail to deploy when needed, which increases the risk of injury in a crash.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Ford dealer or call customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The sensor inspection and any repair will be done free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V928000.
