Airbags are not faulty if you look at sticker they have warning due to old age the plastic becomes brittle and can cause fragments to impale driver only way to prevent this is not replace the airbag but to cover with duct tape, this recall needs to be updated Takata is not responsible, they operate as designed as I said the air bag fill with high pressure air and in older cars will crack plastic cover. Please update this recall this is not a manufacturer error.

Just had to pay $239.58 for my steering wheel clock spring Ford F-350 “Recall” for the parts and labor. The dealership said that Ford still has not "provided parts" for the recall. The dealership was able to get the clock spring part and replace it but had to charge me. I paid for it because I’m not driving my vehicle with no operable diver-side air bag. Ford KNOWS that the clock spring needs to be replaced for the air bag to work. How is that possible that they can not pay for the parts and labor and have a 1 ton pickup with no operable airbag? Ford webiste chat told me all recalls will be covered - parts and labor. Plz advise

Ford announced NHTSA Recall 22V337 on May 16, 2022. In December 2022, they advised about the remedy, to have the steering wheel clock spring replaced, and that parts were "anticipated to be available early first quarter 2023". My 2016 Ford F-350 had the Airbag Warning Indicator warning light on indicating a malfunction. My local authorized Ford dealer, Capital City Ford in Pierre, South Dakota, checked my pickup's system and verified the clock spring recall was indeed the reason for the circuit disconnect. The clock spring needed to be replaced. My airbag would not work until it was replaced. My 15 year old daughter will be driving that pickup, pulling a horse trailer with her horses in it, going to high school rodeos. Not having an operable air bag is not an option. My local dealer ordered a clock spring, which arrived in two days, installed it and everything works just...

There is an "advanced" recall on the clockspring contamination on my vehicle. The local ford dealership is stating that they do not have access to the parts to fix this issue, as it's an advanced warning. The issue is that the truck is having the malfunction. The buttons on the steering wheel do not work, which is now causing me to not be able to see the display b/c it's blocked by a warning, the airbag light is on which is an indication that it does not work. Ford won't look at it without charging $200 for diagnostics and then I will be responsible for paying for the repairs, even if it has to do with the recall. They aren't even sure if the truck can be repaired because they don't have the parts for the repair?????? This is a safety issue, and is basically forcing me to find another...

MICHAEL WAS CHANGE ODOMETER ENGINE TOTAL MILES TO HAVE WARRANTY FROM DEALER

REFERENCED FORD HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOY WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A HEATED GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE DO NOT HAVE A TIME FRAME FOR HOW LONG IT WAS PARKED BEFORE DEPLOYMENT. AFTER THIS DEPLOYMENT FOUND THAT THE TRUCK NO LONGER HAD POWER TO START THE VEHICLE OR ANY DASHBOARD INDICATORS/GAUGES WORKING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON/OFF RANDOMLY TILL BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE PARKED AND SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS TO REPAIR. I DECIDED TO SEE IF I WAS ABLE TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM MYSELF. WHILE WORKING ON THE TRUCK MY DOG HAPPENED TO JUMP INTO THE TRUCK AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I TOLD HIM TO GET OUT AND AS HE WAS GETTING DOWN HE MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL...

I WAS ACTUALLY TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS THAT I NEEDED TO READ MY OWNERS MANUAL TO FIND OUT...
