Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

What 2015 Ford Edge owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I received notification that my vehicle had a recall for related to emissions. At the dealership for repair, I was also informed of a second recall concerning airbags and they may no deploy if needed. The emissions recall was completed however the airbag recall procedure could not be performed due to what the technician described as a "weak" battery in my vehicle. If my vehicle’s battery was insufficient for completing the recall, I believe it is the dealership's responsibility to have the necessary tools, such as a service battery, to perform recall-related repairs. My understanding is that all recall procedures are to be carried out at no cost to the consumer, yet Bill Knight Ford is asking me to pay up wards of $200 to address the battery issue before the recall can be completed. Additionally, after checking the federal safety agency website with my VIN, I did not find any other recalls listed. With this in mind, I have a few questions: Could you confirm whether there are any open recalls for my vehicle, particularly regarding the airbags? Am I correct in assuming that I am not responsible for ensuring my car is "ready" for recall procedures, such as replacing the battery? If there is an open airbag recall, how can I ensure the dealership completes the necessary repairs at no cost to me? I appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and look forward to your response. Below, I have included my vehicle and dealership information for your reference.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions when the vehicle was started, the radio control panel became inoperable, and the defroster failed to operate as needed. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the front interface control module was replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Another car ran a red light and I unfortunately tboned them with the front of my vehicle causing my car to be totaled. Because my airbags did not go off I was thrown into the window causing a head injury and an ambulance ride to the hospital. I have yet to have it be inspected to see if there were airbags or if there was a faulty issue with them. Police stated to me that they could not believe the airbags did not go off from the crash. The vehicle has been inspected by insurance for auto damage but not an in depth look to see if there was an issue with the airbags. There were no warning lamps or messages about the airbags.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown rate of speed, a warning message that stated that her tracking system needed to be serviced appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where a diagnostic determined that her RCM(restraint control module) was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact agreed to the repair; however, the dealer was unable to find the part needed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.
The contact owned a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that upon entering a car wash, she placed the gear shifter into neutral(N); however, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact was uncertain if any warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, her vehicle crashed another vehicle which sent that vehicle into a wall. The side curtain airbags deployed upon impact; however, the driver side air bag only partially deployed. The contact sustained minor scratches and bruises but did not seek medical assistance. The contact expressed that she experienced mental trauma days following the accident. The other driver did not sustain any injuries. A police report was filed. The contact was not notified of any property to the car wash was damaged due to the accident. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard and was destroyed. The contact received a recall notice for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 22V413000(Power Train) which she linked to her failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.
My wife was involved in a car accident with our 2015 ford edge on 8/7/2019. She rear ended a full sized SUV at a moderate speed as she crested a hill into stopped vehicles. The skirt airbag deployed but the main airbag did not. She also states that the lap belt held in in the seat but the shoulder harness did not lock and she was thrust into the steering wheel. We have more pictures upon request.
Takata recall...... I was wondering why my car has not be recalled. When I look it up and it states that it is an eligible subject vehicle.
Car was taken to liberty ford in warrensville recently for an oil change. Told that the oil pan was cracked and oil was leaking. Needed repair. Indicated that the car was under warranty. So repair would be done free. No indication of problem until car was taken in to shop for oil change. Told it was a small leak when asked why I didn't notice it!
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 ford edge. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. Only the air bag on the driver's side floor deployed. The air bag in the steering wheel failed to deploy. The driver sustained a chest contusion, and causing a implant rupture. Medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to a repair facility. The vehicle was destroyed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified months later and did not investigate the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,616. *tt
