Ford Puma Recall Summary Ford is recalling 13,487 Puma vehicles because some have an incorrectly configured Restraint Control Module that may not detect if a crash sensor is installed incorrectly during the vehicle's lifetime. If an incorrect sensor goes undetected, the restraint system could perform worse than intended in a crash, increasing injury risk. Ford dealers will update the module's software to fix the issue.

Product

Vehicles: FORD PUMA. Units affected: 13,487

Reason

Incorrectly configured Restraint Control Module (RCM) which can cause the restraint system not to work as intended. In the event of an incorrect crash sensor being installed throughout the life of the vehicle while in service the current software will not detect it and will not display any warnings in the dash so in the event of an accident the restraints system performance could potentially be degraded therefore increasing the risk of an injury. Remedy: Dealers will perform a configuration update in order to restore functionality.
