Ford and FCA, aka Chrysler, are recalling 1,073,320vehicles with certain original equipment Restraint Control Modules (RCM) AB10+ manufactured by Robert Bosch LLC between February 1, 2012, to August 27, 2013.
The conformal coating of the circuit boards in the modules may not have been cured properly, which could induce shorting in those circuits.
Depending on which circuits short, the frontal air bags, side curtain air bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash necessitating their deployment, and increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
The affected vehicle manufacturers, Ford and Chrysler have initiated safety recall campaigns to address this safety defect.
Owners with questions may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relation Center at 1-866-436-7332 or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
