Ford f-150 air bags failed to deploy.
The truck was traveling approximately 30 MPH on a wet two-lane road. The truck slipped to the right off the roadway and clipped some dead trees, traveled approximately 60 feet over some boulders, and struck a cedar tree approximately six inches in diameter, coming to rest. The truck struck the tree midway on the front end, compressing the hood, with the front fender wrapped around the tree. The driver's side air bag did not deploy. I contacted ford customer service, requesting information to be gathered on why the air bag failed to deploy. The customer service representative referred me to the insurance company. The insurance company representative called on my behalf and gave permission for ford to non-destructively collect data at the salvage site, but ford refused. I have photographs that I can provide if requested.

- What is wrong
- Ford is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 f-150 pick up trucks as well as certain model year 2006 lincoln mark lt vehicles. If the clockspring jumper wire comes in contact with the driver side frontal air bag lower horn plate, the wire insulation may become chafed, creating a potential for a short circuit. If this occurs the air bag warning lamp may illuminate indicating that service is required.
- Risk
- The driver side frontal air bag could inadvertently deploy increasing the risk of injury or loss of vehicle control if occurring while in motion.
- Remedy
- Ford will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicles to a ford or lincoln/mercury dealer to have a new clockspring jumper wire installed that incorporates a protective mesh cover. Repairs will be performed free of charge. This safety recall began on some vehicles in march 2011. The recall campaign on the expanded population is expected to begin on or about may 9, 2011.
