Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 327 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 48 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V980000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 104 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V689000 (electrical system), 25V455000 (fuel system, gasoline), 25V442000 (back over prevention), 25V096000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on February 16, 2022 as campaign 22V083000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
