US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 12V488000 Mfg's Report Date: OCT 05, 2012 Component: AIR BAGS Potential Number Of Units Affected: 154,604 Summary: Ford is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Fiesta vehicles, manufactured from November 3, 2009 through September 21, 2012. The vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." The passenger side curtain air bag will not deploy in the event of a side impact collision when the front passenger seat is empty. Although the side curtain air bag system was designed to suppress the side curtain air bag under this scenario, that information is not explained in the owner's guide for these vehicles as required by FMVSS No.208. Consequence: An occupant in the right rear seating position will not have coverage from the side curtain air bag in a side impact collision when the front passenger seat is empty, increasing the risk of injury to the right rear occupant. Remedy: Ford will notify owners and dealers will reprogram the vehicle's software free of charge so that it no longer suppresses the passenger side curtain air bag when the front passenger seat is empty, and consistent with the description in the owner's guide. The safety recall is expected to begin shortly. Owner's may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. Notes: Ford's recall campaign number is 12C26. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

US NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS: Overall Rating: * * * * Overall Frontal Barrier Crash Rating: * * * * Driver (Male): * * * * * Passenger (Female): * * * * Frontal Crash Test Note: Not Applicable Note: Not Applicable Overall Side Crash Rating: * * * * * Side Barrier Rating: * * * * * Driver (Male): * * * * Rear Passenger (Female): * * * * * Side Barrier Rating Note: Due to the intrusion of the left rear door during the side impact test, the interior door panel struck the torso of the rear passenger dummy, causing a high lower spine acceleration. High lower spine accelerations, in excess of 82 g's,have a higher likelihood of thoracic injury. Note: Although not included in the star rating, the rear passenger's thoracic rib deflection was elevated. Side Pole Rating Driver Front Seat (Female): * * * * Combined Side Barrier and Pole Ratings: Front Seat Rating: * * * * Rear Seat Rating: * * * * * US NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: * * * * Dynamic Test Result: No Tip Risk of Rollover: 14.3% Note Regarding Driver Rating: Male: Average sized adult male dummy in 35-MPH crash into fixed barrier. Rating is evaluation of injury to head, neck, chest, legs. Female: Small-sized adult female dummy in 35-mph crash into fixed barrier. Rating is evaluation of injury to head, neck, chest, legs. Rollover Note: Dynamic (moving) test results (Tip or No Tip) and measured rollover-related properties determine vehicle's risk of rollover in single vehicle crash and its rollover rating. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is.
