AIR BAGS
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 F-150 vehicles. The right-side instrument panel cover may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the air bag to not deploy as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- During air bag deployment, the air bag cover my break and project fragments into the vehicle, or the air bag may deploy improperly, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the right-side instrument panel cover, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 26, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22C23.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

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 74 vehicles this is a small campaign: 73% 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 51 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V594000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 582 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 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 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V489000 (back over prevention), 26V104000 (electrical system), 25V729000 (visibility), 25V517000 (exterior lighting).
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 September 14, 2022 as campaign 22V684000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
