Ranger Trucks Recalled After Driver Killed By Takata Airbag
Your truck might be involved in one the largest and most dangerous recalls in automotive history. Ford announced they are recalling 391,000 Ranger trucks in the USA and Canada with Takata inflators.
You've probably heard about Takata by now. They're the ones that made airbag inflators that explode with too much force and sometimes send metal shrapnel flying throughout the cabin. They're also the ones that have been linked to a number of deaths and injuries.
But wait, there's more! Replacement parts aren't even expected to be available until later this year.
Needless to say, Takata isn't going to make anyone's holiday card list this year.
