Ford is voluntarily conducting this program to replace certain airbag modules manufactured by Takata Corporation on vehicles always registered and always residing in Florida.

The purpose of this program is to obtain field parts for testing and evaluation.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
