2005-2014 Ford Mustang added to Takata airbag recall - TheMustangNews.com
This expanded recall follows Takata’s notification to the U. S. NHTSA last week specifying additional airbag inflators to be defective, affecting again several automakers across the industry. For Ford, affected vehicles include the 2005-2014 Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, 2005-2006 Ford GT sports cars built at Wixom Assembly Plant, 2004 Ford Rangers built at the Edison Assembly Plant and, 2004-2006 Ford... The concerns regard defects in the inflators provided by Takata which can cause metal fragments to injure a driver or passenger when the bag is deployed. As disclosed in November 2014, Ford is aware of one airbag deployment that might be related to the issue, in which a driver’s leg was injured by a metal fragment when the airbag deployed after a crash. Ford has not seen any other inflator ruptures on Ford vehicles in the field or in testing to date. A total of 1,490,764 vehicles in North America are now affected by this expanded recall, including 1,380,604 in the United States and federalized territories, 93,207 in Canada and 16,953 in Mexico. Customers can then enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to see any open safety, compliance or emissions recalls, as well as customer satisfaction programs. Source: Ford Press Release.
