2006 Ford F-150 Air Bags

I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE. IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY. THOUGH I WAS TRAVELLING THE SPEED LIMIT, HAD I BEEN ON A FREEWAY AND GOING THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT I THINK I MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE LIBABLE INSURANCE COMPANY ENCOURAGED ME TO CONTACT FORD TO SEE IT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. THERE WERE NOT WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the air bag waring light needed to be serviced. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 11V107000 (Air Bags) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified about the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,500.
