Zf recall: Air bags
What is wrong
ZF Group North America Operations (ZF) is recalling certain Air Bag Inflators, part numbers 34277217A, 34204745A, 34177958C, and 34200077B. The diffusers may be improperly crimped causing them to separate from the inflator in the event of a curtain air bag deployment, affecting the curtain air bag inflation.
What could happen
In the event of a crash, if the diffuser detaches from the inflator during air bag deployment, the curtain air bag may not inflate properly, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
ZF has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the affected parts. The vehicle manufacturers notified their owners, and dealers will replace the side curtain air bag assemblies, free of charge. Chrysler vehicle owners may contact their customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W52. Ford vehicle owners may contact their customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
