In the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Ford dealership or Ford Customer Relationship Centre directly via the website at https://www.ford.com.au/owners/contact-us/ to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge.

Consumers who are unsure whether they are affected can also contact Ford on the Ford Takata Hotline 1800 503 673 or contact their preferred dealer.

Alternatively, consumers can use their registration plate number to check if their vehicle is affected by going to http://www.ismyairbagsafe.com.au
