We start this week with yet another recall for airbags, this time focused on older Ford Ranger trucks. Specifically, Ford is recalling 231,942 Rangers from 2004 through 2006 to replace front passenger airbag inflators that could be installed incorrectly.
If you're experiencing some deja vu here, it's because this is an expansion of an earlier recall covering these trucks, and it all stems from the original recall issued in 2018. Back then, Rangers from these model years joined millions of other vehicles in the ever-expanding Takata airbag recall. Originally listed under Ford Field Service Actions 17S42 and 18S02, Ranger owners who heeded the recall had driver and passenger airbag inflators replaced.
