Airbag LFC 42 on 05 Explorer XLT

[Booger2005]

Last week, my yellow airbag light came on at start up. When I turn the key, it flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 2 times. This started after I put the truck in reverse and heard a loud thunk come from under the truck (probably has nothing to do with light coming on - coincidence?). There are no other symptoms and the truck is running fine. Is it dangerous to drive the truck with this light on? I've read that LFC 42 code means that the driver’s side crash sensor mounting has failed. Is this an easy fix? A DIY? Or should I take it to a shop. If a shop fixes it, can anyone give me a guesstimate on the cost? Thank you ahead of time for your help/advise.
