What this part is

DB5Z-78045J76-B is the Ford part number for the Knee Inflator Module. On the 2013–2019 Ford Explorer this is the factory-fitted knee airbag, carrying the same part number the dealer orders. Ford supersedes DB5Z-78045J76-A with it, so it is what to order if your old part carries one of those numbers. An airbag is a pyrotechnic part: it ships by ground freight and must be fitted by a qualified technician.

Ordering this part

We price new OEM parts from the manufacturer's own catalog and pass on our dealer discount, so the figure above moves when the manufacturer's list price does. Fitting a knee airbag on the 2013–2019 Ford Explorer leaves the airbag module in a crash state: it has to be reset and the fault codes cleared before the system will arm again. KarmanAuto resets Ford airbag modules by post, usually the same day they arrive.
