Ford Motor Company is recalling 231,942 of its 2004-2006 Ranger vehicles because replacement front passenger air bag inflators installed during a previous recall may have been put in incorrectly. This specific issue affects vehicles that were already serviced under a prior recall action. Owners of these trucks should have their vehicles inspected to ensure the air bag will deploy as intended during a collision. Ford dealers will inspect and reinstall the inflator correctly at no cost to the vehicle owner.
If the air bag inflator was installed incorrectly, the passenger-side air bag may not inflate properly during a crash. This failure to deploy correctly significantly increases the risk of injury to the front-seat passenger during a collision.
Free inspection and reinstallation of the air bag inflator.
