In some cases, the system could prematurely deploy the roof-mounted side curtain
airbags, which are in addition to the normal side airbags.

Ford is recalling 800 new Mondeos in the UK and 300 in Germany where the model
went on sale last month. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents
because of the problem.

Owners have been sent a letter and the work takes about one hour at a dealer.
