Consumer Description

Air bag compartment on front passenger window pillar takes in water everytime it rains. Water drains from air bag compartment when I make a turn. Air bag may become compromised and may air bag module may eventually stop working due to water damage and/or render the airbag useless in case of a crash resulting in serious injury or even death. I have taken a video of water actually coming out of airbag compartment and appears to be a persistent problem in other broncos in forums like https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/mic-2-0-water-leak-a-pillar-passenger-airbag-cover.27065/ The vehicle has not been inspected for that issue yet and in the process of setting up an appointment but Ford Country dealership in Henderson, Nevada is aware of it. Additionally, I contacted Ford.com and was given a case# 40741781. There have been no warning lamps or messages as of yet.
