Ford Mustang Recall 15V319: Driver airbag inflator may rupture in a crash

NHTSA campaign 15V319, reported May 28, 2015, 1,018,622 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The driver's frontal airbag inflator in certain Ford Mustang and GT vehicles may be affected by moisture over time. If the airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator could rupture and send metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, which could cause serious injury or death.

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Dealers will replace the driver's front airbag inflator free of charge. Owners who had interim repairs under safety recall 14V-802 must still bring their vehicles in for this final remedy, which supersedes that earlier recall.
