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 left seat airbag on the 2016–2019 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.
