Ford PUMA (2023)
What the hazard is
In the event of an accident, an airbag not deploying or seatbelt pretensioner not activating correctly could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.
What to do
Ford will contact affected owners in writing requesting they make an appointment at their preferred Ford Authorised Dealership to update the RCM configuration, free of charge. Note: Your vehicle must be rectified even if works were performed under the previous recall due to the incorrect software update (Campaign number: 23S52).
Defect
During the manufacturing process, the Restraint Control Module (RCM) was loaded with an incorrect configuration. As a result, if an incorrect replacement part is installed in the system, warnings will not be displayed and the seatbelt pretensioners and airbags may not perform as intended in the event of an accident.
