Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 100,900 Ranger vehicles from model years 2024 through 2026. The side curtain air bags in these vehicles may tear during deployment if they come into contact with the inner reinforcements of the vehicle's B-pillar. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards designed to protect occupants from being ejected during a crash. Ford dealers will resolve the issue by installing protective shields to prevent the air bags from tearing.
If the side curtain air bags tear during a crash, they will not deploy properly, significantly increasing the risk of occupant injury or ejection from the vehicle.
Installation of protective shields
Ford recall number: 25C41. NHTSA campaign number: 25V541. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, 'Ejection Mitigation.'
