What is wrong
Ford and Chrysler are recalling various vehicles with certain original equipment Restraint Control Modules (RCM) AB10+ manufactured by Robert Bosch LLC between February 1, 2012, to August 27, 2013. The conformal coating of the circuit boards in the affected modules may not have been cured properly which could induce shorting in those circuits.

Depending on which circuits short, the frontal air bags, side curtain air bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash necessitating their deployment, and increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
