Which Ford vehicles have an airbag recall?

Several Ford vehicles have been affected by airbag recalls in recent years due to potential safety issues with the airbag systems. These recalls are part of the broader Takata airbag recall, which has impacted millions of vehicles across multiple automakers.


Affected Ford Vehicles


The Ford vehicles that have been subject to airbag recalls include:



  • Ford Ranger (2004-2011 model years)

  • Ford Mustang (2005-2014 model years)

  • Ford Fusion (2006-2012 model years)

  • Ford Edge (2007-2010 model years)

  • Ford Escape (2008-2012 model years)

  • Ford Expedition (2007-2011 model years)

  • Ford Mercury Grand Marquis (2005-2011 model years)

  • Ford Lincoln Town Car (2005-2011 model years)


These vehicles were equipped with Takata-manufactured airbag inflators that were found to be prone to rupturing, potentially causing serious injury or even death to vehicle occupants.


Recall Details and Remedies


The airbag recalls for these Ford vehicles were initiated in phases, with the earliest recalls starting in 2015. Ford has been working to notify affected owners and provide free replacement of the defective airbag inflators. Owners of the recalled vehicles are encouraged to contact their local Ford dealer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to determine if their vehicle is affected and to schedule the necessary repairs.


It's important for Ford owners to stay informed about any outstanding recalls and to have the necessary repairs performed as soon as possible to ensure the safety of themselves and their passengers.
