Do grill guards affect air bag deployment???

I am looking at putting a Luverne grill guard on my 2013 King Ranch. Does anyone have an opinion on whether the grill guard will affect the air bag deployment?

The SRS (supplemental restraint system) sensors work by inertia. The grill guard will have no affect at all. That is NOT an opinion it is a fact. I am Ford certified on such systems.

Are there any issues with the warranty being affected after installation?

I have a grille guard in my truck, the last one was totaled, airbags deploys fine in the head on collision. Last two trucks and my current '12 has grille guard, all ford service, never a warranty issue.
