Airbags are not faulty if you look at sticker they have warning due to old age the plastic becomes brittle and can cause fragments to impale driver only way to prevent this is not replace the airbag but to cover with duct tape, this recall needs to be updated Takata is not responsible, they operate as designed as I said the air bag fill with high pressure air and in older cars will crack plastic cover. Please update this recall this is not a manufacturer error.

Just had to pay $239.58 for my steering wheel clock spring Ford F-350 “Recall” for the parts and labor. The dealership said that Ford still has not "provided parts" for the recall. The dealership was able to get the clock spring part and replace it but had to charge me. I paid for it because I’m not driving my vehicle with no operable diver-side air bag. Ford KNOWS that the clock spring needs to be replaced for the air bag to work. How is that possible that they can not pay for the parts and labor and have a 1 ton pickup with no operable airbag? Ford webiste chat told me all recalls will be covered - parts and labor. Plz advise

Ford announced the federal safety agency Recall 22V337 on May 16, 2022. In December 2022, they advised about the remedy, to have the steering wheel clock spring replaced, and that parts were "anticipated to be available early first quarter 2023". My 2016 Ford F-350 had the Airbag Warning Indicator warning light on indicating a malfunction. My local authorized Ford dealer, Capital City Ford in Pierre, South Dakota, checked my pickup's system and verified the clock spring recall was indeed the reason for the circuit disconnect. The clock spring needed to be replaced. My airbag would not work until it was replaced. My 15 year old daughter will be driving that pickup, pulling a horse trailer with her horses in it, going to high school rodeos. Not having an operable air bag is not an option. My local dealer ordered a clock spring, which arrived in two days, installed it and everything works just fine - air bag and all gauges controlled by the steering wheel buttons. Ford won't pay for it. I had to pay for it. $239.58 parts and labor. Clearly the part is available, my dealer was able to get one. Why is Ford not having dealers repair this, let alone repair it free of charge per the Recall??? I cannot afford to have to pay $239.58 for Ford's Recall but more importantly I could not afford to have my daughter possibly being in a crash with an airbag that won't deploy. How can I receive compensation from Ford? Please and thank you for your time, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
