If it is folded wrong it can tear upon deployment, so it won’t hold air as designed.If an airbag is folded wrong, can it stay pumped?

Takata is defunct. The airbags are folded at a tier 1 supplier (TRW, Autoliv and whatever keysaftey+gst ended up being called are the big ones for ford). They come in a module to MAP. Airbag suppliers are held to an extremely high standard for any quality issue. I imagine the issue was found at the supplier, not MAP.So who actually folds the passenger side airbags? Is it the airbag supplier (e.g., Takata)? Or is it the MAP assembly worker?
I need to know who to direct my faux outrage towards over this safety recall of certain vehicles made before my Bronco is built, because I, like everyone else in this thread, am now livid!

@brettf22 Just checked on the B6G tracker and my end date updated sometime this evening. It was 8/6 this afternoon and is now 10/21. I’ll check my modules in the morning but I think that’s usually a precursor to the built e-mail.
my tracker updated to remove everything that was on there... and its all null now. but I can still get to the window sticker...@brettf22 Just checked on the B6G tracker and my end date updated sometime this evening.

That's usually a typo or an uncapitalized letter in the order number. Sometimes happens if the tracker goes down, but that's rare.my tracker updated to remove everything that was on there... and its all null now. but I can still get to the window sticker...
I dont even have to type in the numbers... they are saved as defaults as soon as I click on the box... the curious part is that it still goes to my same window sticker...That's usually a typo or an uncapitalized letter in the order number.

How are you determining if your VIN is flagged or not? Are you using the “Ford Recall Check” site below?also currently your VIN is not flagged for the airbag recall even though it was an 08/06 blend date.
I have used it, but I was also looking at the ETIS data. I know for a fact that unshipped Broncos with recall issues will show up there as flagged and that other unshipped Broncos are not flagged (at least not yet).How are you determining if your VIN is flagged or not? Are you using the “Ford Recall Check” site below?

my blend date was 8/11., but the Ford recall check site is indicating my VIN is clean - no recalls.
Thanks for this helpful info! My 08/04 is on DM and I have not had a recall notice show up on the app. Keeping my fingers crossed there's no airbag problem.A little additional detail; as some of you know I have been tracking other VINs as I come across the data/window stickers. So I happened to have a 08/06 Blend date first edition VIN and my 08/05 Blend date OBX VIN to compare with regards to the recall.
Neither have been "released" and both are pending in PALSAPP with no destination data. As far as the Recall goes, the 08/06 (seq 6014) vehicle has been identified as a recall bronco (1FMDE5FP9MLA20185) and my 08/05 (seq 5142) bronco has been identified as NOT a recall bronco (1 FMDE5CP2MLA76299).
Just thought that was an interesting data point showing that you don't have to be delivered in order to have your Bronco identified as a recall Bronco. It also suggests that NOT all 07/19-08/17 Broncos will need the airbag replaced.
