In owners' words

What F-450 owners report

Recent air bags complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 7/6/2015. I RECEIVED BURNS ON BOTH HANDS AND LEFT FOREARM. I ALSO RECEIVED A TORN ROTATOR CUFF AND CHEST BRUISING FROM SEAT BELT. I DO NOT THINK THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE CAUSED BURNS TO MY SKIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED.
