What this part is

LJ6Z-78043B13-BB is the Ford part number for the Driver Inflator Module. On the 2020–2025 Ford Escape this is the factory-fitted driver airbag, carrying the same part number the dealer orders. Ford supersedes LJ6Z-78043B13-BA and LJ6Z-78043B13-AA 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.

A recalled restraint part is repaired free by a franchised dealer. We do not knowingly list parts from a recalled lot; check the campaign above against the donor VIN before fitting.

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 driver airbag on the 2020–2025 Ford Escape 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.
