Takata Airbags: ford Recalls Almost 100,000 old Rangers
• During the first Ranger recall in 2016, some replacement airbags were improperly installed.
This week, another chapter in the Takata airbag saga, which has included the tragic deaths of just over 30 vehicle occupants worldwide. Ford has informed the NHTSA , the equivalent of Transport Canada, that it is recalling just under 100,000 older Ranger pickup trucks. In this new case, there is no risk of shrapnel exploding into people’s faces; but if the airbag doesn't deploy properly, that poses an obvious risk in itself.
“Ford service instructions include diagrams and instructions for proper airbag inflator installation,” it said. “Technicians who mis-installed the inflator told Ford they did not review the instructions prior to installation.”
