Ford has issued a recall in for nearly 3 million older vehicles equipped with the dangerous Takata airbag inflators.
The defective parts could degrade over time, after long-term exposure to temperature cycling and humidity, causing it to rupture during deployment, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
Approximately 2.6 million vehicles in the United States and federal territories, 274,737 in Canada, and 46,078 in Mexico will have to be taken back to the dealers for repairs, who will replace the driver-side front airbag inflator or module. The action covers the 2006-2012 Fusion, 2007-2010 Edge, 2007-2011 Ranger, 2006-2012 Lincoln MKZ / Zephyr, 2007-2010 MKX, and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan.
The recall is expected to start in early April.
