REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
Ford Motor Company has determined that some vehicles claimed by dealers as repaired under
Takata Airbag Safety Recalls 15S21, 17S42, 18S02, 19S01, and 21S12 may not have received the
claimed repairs. The propellant in certain Takata airbag inflators can experience an alteration over
time with exposure to certain climate conditions. A combination of time, high temperature fluctuations,
and humidity contribute to the degradation of the propellant in the inflators. This degradation can
cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating high pressure inside the inflator, and in extreme
cases causing the inflator to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. A
ruptured inflator can send inflator parts toward vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Additional information regarding Takata recalls can be found at www.nhtsa.gov and
www.safercar.gov.
SERVICE ACTION
For vehicles that have been added to this program, dealers are to inspect and capture an image of the
driver and/or passenger airbag inflators installed in the vehicle. If the original recall repair has been
completed correctly, dealers will submit photos demonstrating the repair was properly completed via
Concern Reports using the “Report a Vehicle Concern” process. If a previously claimed Takata
airbag recall repair is found to be incomplete, dealers are to submit photos to the SSSC and request
additional claiming directions as well as the specific repair instructions.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Initial owner notification letters are expected to be mailed the week of April 4th, 2022. Additional owner
notification letters will be sent out as incremental VIN’s are added to this program. Dealers should
perform this quality control inspection on any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether
or not the customer has received a letter.

PARTS REQUIREMENTS / ORDERING INFORMATION
Parts are not required to complete this inspection. If an inspection fails and an airbag recall repair is
needed, then the SSSC will provide a list of required parts. Order your parts through normal order
processing channels. To guarantee the shortest delivery time, an emergency order for parts must be
placed.
REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1st 2021 all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of
March 1st 2021 or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your
dealers fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the
task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other
than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing
this task consistently and accurately.
•
All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department
following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.
•
Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.
•
If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line
or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts
were inspected and validated to have been replaced.
•
After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the
parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.).
This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order
open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement,
found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to
chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair
Process.
NOTE: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle
repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA
parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval
requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be
replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require
approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair
approval by the designated employee.

Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
Your vehicle was previously serviced at a Ford or Lincoln dealership to replace one or more defective
airbag inflators under Safety Recall 15S21, 17S42, 18S02, 19S01, and/or 21S12. A Ford Motor
Company quality audit found that it is possible that the dealership technician who serviced your
vehicle did not complete some of the repairs that the dealership submitted claims for. The airbag
inflators in your vehicle need to be inspected to ensure your vehicle received the proper airbag recall
repair.
We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this
condition at no cost to you. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the
highest level of service and support.
Why are you receiving
this notice?
You previously brought your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealership for repair
under Safety Recall 15S21, 17S42, 18S02, 19S01, and/or 21S12. During
that repair, your vehicle’s airbag inflator(s) were to be replaced, but it is
possible that the dealership technician who performed the recall repair did
not replace them.
What is the effect?
If your airbag inflator(s) was not replaced as claimed by your dealer, and you
are involved in a crash that causes airbag deployment, then the airbag
inflator(s) can explode and send sharp metal parts toward vehicle
occupants. This can result in serious injury or death.
More information
about the Takata
airbag recalls
As described in the original safety recall letter, certain Takata airbag inflators
can rupture because the propellant that was used can experience an
alteration over time with exposure to certain climate conditions. A
combination of time, high temperature fluctuations, and humidity contribute
to the degradation of the propellant in the inflators. This degradation can
cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating high pressure inside the
inflator, and in extreme cases causing the inflator to rupture in the event of a
crash necessitating airbag deployment. Additional information regarding
Takata recalls can be found at www.nhtsa.gov and www.safercar.gov.

What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Dealers are to inspect and capture an image of the driver and/or passenger
airbag installed in the vehicle. This will involve lowering the glove
compartment door or removing the airbag module for passenger side
inspections. For driver side inspections, it will involve removing the airbag
module from the steering wheel. If the airbag recall repair is found to have
been completed correctly, then no further action is required. If the airbag
recall repair is found to be incomplete, then the recall repair will be
performed again to correct the condition.
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to perform this inspection, and if needed the recall repair, free of
charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program. This Quality
Inspection Program will be in effect until March 31, 2027 regardless of
mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.
How long will it take?
The time needed for this inspection is less than one-half day. However, due
to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time. Additionally, if the inspection reveals that the airbag
recall repair was not previously performed correctly, then additional time to
perform the repair will be needed.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Quality Inspection Program 22B05. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which
is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed.
COVID-19
(CORONAVIRUS)
Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your
safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific
procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after
each vehicle is serviced. In most places, vehicle service has been deemed a
critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service
hours. For more information on how Ford and your local dealer are working
hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit
ford.com/support.
What if you no longer
own this vehicle?
If you no longer own this vehicle, and have an address for the current owner,
please forward this letter to the new owner.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on
state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.
Can we assist you
further?
If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without
charge, please contact your dealership's Service Manager for assistance.

Quality Inspection Program 22B05
April 2022
Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
Your vehicle was previously serviced at a Ford or Lincoln dealership to replace one or more defective
airbag inflators under Safety Recall 15S21, 17S42, 18S02, 19S01, and/or 21S12. A Ford Motor
Company quality audit found that it is possible that the dealership technician who serviced your
vehicle did not complete some of the repairs that the dealership submitted claims for. The airbag
inflators in your vehicle need to be inspected to ensure your vehicle received the proper airbag recall
repair.
We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this
condition at no cost to you. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the
highest level of service and support.
Why are you receiving
this notice?
You previously brought your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealership for repair
under Safety Recall 15S21, 17S42, 18S02, 19S01, and/or 21S12. During
that repair, your vehicle’s airbag inflator(s) were to be replaced, but it is
possible that the dealership technician who performed the recall repair did
not replace them.
What is the effect?
If your airbag inflator(s) was not replaced as claimed by your dealer, and you
are involved in a crash that causes airbag deployment, then the airbag
inflator(s) can explode and send sharp metal parts toward vehicle
occupants. This can result in serious injury or death.
More information
about the Takata
airbag recalls
As described in the original safety recall letter, certain Takata airbag inflators
can rupture because the propellant that was used can experience an
alteration over time with exposure to certain climate conditions. A
combination of time, high temperature fluctuations, and humidity contribute
to the degradation of the propellant in the inflators. This degradation can
cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating high pressure inside the
inflator, and in extreme cases causing the inflator to rupture in the event of a
crash necessitating airbag deployment. Additional information regarding
Takata recalls can be found at www.nhtsa.gov and www.safercar.gov.

What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Dealers are to inspect and capture an image of the driver and/or passenger
airbag installed in the vehicle. This will involve lowering the glove
compartment door or removing the airbag module for passenger side
inspections. For driver side inspections, it will involve removing the airbag
module from the steering wheel. If the airbag recall repair is found to have
been completed correctly, then no further action is required. If the airbag
recall repair is found to be incomplete, then the recall repair will be
performed again to correct the condition.
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to perform this inspection, and if needed the recall repair, free of
charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program. This Quality
Inspection Program will be in effect until March 31, 2027 regardless of
mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.
How long will it take?
The time needed for this inspection is less than one-half day. However, due
to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time. Additionally, if the inspection reveals that the airbag
recall repair was not previously performed correctly, then additional time to
perform the repair will be needed.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Quality Inspection Program 22B05. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which
is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed.
COVID-19
(CORONAVIRUS)
Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your
safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific
procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after

critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service
hours. For more information on how Ford and your local dealer are working
hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit
ford.com/support.

please forward this letter to the new owner.
