2001 Ford Crown Victoria & 2001 Ford Windstar + 2 more recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: minivans and passenger vehicles. A restraint control module (rcm) or a side or front crash sensor may have been assembled with one or more of the screws that mount the circuit board in the housing missing. If some or all of the screws are missing, the performance of the occupant restrains could be affected.
💥 The risk
In some cases, less than the intended level of protection in the event of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the rcm and crash sensors and, if necessary, replace them.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
