Ford Motor is recalling more than 98,000 older Ranger model trucks in the United States because replacement air bag inflators may have been installed incorrectly.
Ford issued a recall of 2004-2006 model year Ranger pickup trucks on March 3, 2023, over replacement air bag inflators that may have been installed incorrectly.
In November, Ford said the company had replaced 97% of the airbag inflators in affected vehicles, which include the Ranger , Ford Edge , Ford Fusion , Ford GT , Ford Mustang , and Mercury Milan . However, some of the replacement parts in 2004-2006 Ranger trucks may have been installed incorrectly, necessitating the new recall.
Approximately 67 million vehicles with Takata air bag inflators have been recalled, including 2004-2011 Ford Ranger models, because the air bags explode, shooting metal shrapnel at drivers and passengers. All vehicles included in the new recall have already had their Takata airbag replaced. Customers who bring their vehicle in for servicing will have it inspected for proper installation and, if necessary, reinstalled correctly at no charge. "We want to remind customers the importance of getting their vehicle serviced for recalls," Ford told Fox Business.
