Ford Recall 99S23: Ford/Air Bag Sensor Assembly
1998 Ford Contour
In some cases, the air bag warning light can illuminate and the air bag supplemental restraint system disabled.
Air Bags — Frontal — Sensor/Control Module-Inactive
- Summary
- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. The air bag sensor wiring pigtail insulation can become brittle and crack over time due to accumulation of water in the pigtail protective convolute in combination with high underhood temperatures related to the routing of the wiring pigtail near the radiator. This can result in environmental stress cracking of the insulation.
- Actions
- Dealers will install air bag sensors with revised wiring insulation. In addition, vehicles which have the air bag warning light illuminated will have a new air bag diagnostic monitor installed.
