Mercury Air bag Recalls


Capri
Air bags

Damage: At high ambient interior vehicle temperatures above140 degrees, the air bag may tear and malfunction upon deployment.
Year: 1992, 1991


Grand marquis
Air bags:frontal
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. These vehicles may have been built with lower than the intended level of torque on the bolts that attach the air bag electronic crash sensor module to the vehicle.

Year: 2000

Air bags:frontal
Description: The passenger side air bag has an inflator body that cracked during forming of the curl that retains the igniter plug in the end of the inflator. also the igniter end cap can separate from the inflator.
Damage: The passenger side air bag may not inflate properly resulting in reduced occupant protection in a vehicle accident. if the igniter end cap separates in a frontal collision, hot gases can be released and ignite flammable material or cause burn injuries.
Year: 1995

Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module
Description: Vehicle description: Minivans and passenger vehicles. A restraint control module (rcm) or a side or front crash sensor may have been assembled with one or more of the screws that mount the circuit board in the housing missing.

Damage: In some cases, less than the intended level of protection in the event of a crash.
Year: 2001

Air bags:frontal
Description: Threaded inflator components may have been damaged during assembly which may allow components to separate when inflator receives a signal to deploy the air bag.
Damage: Inflator component separation allows hot combustion gases to escape into the passenger compartment which could result in injuries to vehicle occupants.
Year: 1991, 1990


Mystique
Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. The air bag sensor wiring pigtail insulation can become brittle and crack over time due to accumulation of water in the pigtail protective convolute in combination with high underhood temperatures related to the routing of the wiring pigtail near the radiator. This can result in environmental stress cracking of the insulation.
Damage: In some cases, the air bag warning light can illuminate and the air bag supplemental restraint system disabled.

Year: 1990


Topaz
Air bags:frontal
Description: Threaded inflator components may have been damaged during assembly which may allow components to separate when inflator receives a signal to deploy the air bag.
Damage: Inflator component separation allows hot combustion gases to escape into the passenger compartment which could result in injuries to vehicle occupants.
Year: 1990


Tracer
Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module
Description: On certain passenger vehicles, the integrated air bag monitor (iabm) can be contaminated with water or other liquids and could experience internal electrical shorting.

in very rare occurrences, air bag deployment, melted wiring, or fire may occur.
Year: 1997

Air bags:frontal
Description: The driver side air bag module can have an inadequately welded inflator canister.
Damage: In the event of a collision, the weld seam can separate, causing the air bag to fail to deploy properly and hot gases to be expelled from the back of the steering wheel. this can result in an increased risk of personal injury from the hot gases and the air bag failure.
