Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 98,550 Ranger vehicles from the 2004-2006 model years because replacement front passenger air bag inflators installed during a previous recall may have been installed incorrectly. The defect involves inflators that were part of a prior safety action but were not correctly fitted during that service. Dealers will inspect the air bag inflator and reinstall it correctly if necessary, at no cost to the vehicle owner.
An incorrectly installed inflator may prevent the passenger air bag from inflating properly during a collision, which increases the risk of occupant injury during a crash.
Inspection and reinstallation of the front passenger air bag inflator.
