Cracked Steering Wheel Airbag Cover

[PrepVet]

A typical WI driver attempted to merge into the Bronco today without looking. While evading I honked….

Well I have just over 2 weeks left on my warranty so I’ll make a claim.

Welcome to the club. My replacement cracked within a few months. Somewhere down the road I might try a Ranger airbag, I presume it's a direct fit.

Mine's been like that delivery, doesn't bother me enough to want to go to my dealer.

Ford denied my in warranty claim for the same rhing

Ford mobile service approved mine and it's not just the cover, it's the whole assembly. Once mine cracked though, the crack got really bad really fast. Whole thing split all the way through.

Your dealer*
Not Ford. This is definitely warrantable and I’ve replaced a few.

Idk. They said they turned it into ford and it was declined. They gave me a new hardtop though.

I have had 3 steering wheel covers replaced due to a crack, all under warranty. It’s crazy they all crack the exact same place and the cracks were identical in shape

Coincidently just had mine replaced under warranty at 35k miles yesterday, dealer here in CO said they've seen this before and replaced it no questions asked

That’s because they’re designed to split down the exact same spot when the airbag goes off.

The reason why the crack is the same makes sense. The fact that it happens when honking and not in a crash does not.

Replaced under warranty in a day. All nice and new.

Scheduled appt at the dealership for my second steering wheel/horn/airbag cover to be replaced. First was replaced before the service bulletin. Now out of warranty on our 21 OBX, wondering what this bullshit is gonna cost me.
