  Summary: Ford is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Ford F-150, 2012 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, and 2012-2013 mustang vehicles, for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard nos. 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, And Transmission Braking Effect" and 108 ¿lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment.¿ these vehicles may have a transmission range sensor (trs) that was calibrated out of specification for reverse gear.

These conditions increase the risk of a crash or a pedestrian being struck due to the vehicle's not signaling it is in reverse.

• AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE Recall for 2012 Ford F-150

  • Recall Announced MAY 03 2012
  • NHTSA Reference #12V198000
  • Number Affected 101

  Summary: Ford is recalling certain model year 2012 F-150 vehicles manufactured from November 6, 2011, through November 15, 2011. Incorrect software for the occupant classification system module (ocsm) was installed on the vehicles either at the time of manufacturing or during the course of replacement of the module as part of a service repair. Under certain driving conditions, the ocsm may misclassify the passenger seat's occupant such that the passenger side airbag does not deploy when it should, does not deploy as intended, or deploys when it should not.

  Consequence: A failure to deploy, failure to deploy as intended, or a deployment when not intended, increases the risk of injury to the passenger side seat occupant.

  Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ocsm free of charge. Ford expects to begin on or about May 21, 2012. Owners may contact the Ford Motor Company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
