Approximately 80,206 steering column control modules (SCCM) manufactured by BCS Automotive Interface Solutions are being recalled because they contain electrical defects that can cause the driver’s air bag to deactivate. These components were installed in various vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Company and Chrysler (Stellantis). Because the air bag may not deploy during an accident, these units fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208 for occupant crash protection. Vehicle manufacturers were notified of this issue on November 8, 2023, to begin the process of identifying affected vehicles and implementing a fix.
If the steering column control module fails, the driver's air bag will become deactivated. In the event of a crash, a deactivated air bag will not deploy as intended, which significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death to the driver.
The vehicle manufacturers (Ford and Stellantis) will determine the specific remedy for their affected vehicles.
