Ford is asking owners of about 98,500 Ranger pickups from model years 2004-2006 to bring them back to the dealership for a second repair.
The trucks had their airbag inflators replaced as part of an earlier recall. But Ford has determined that “select dealerships and a certain third-party mobile repair team” may have installed the replacement inflators on the passenger’s side incorectly. They might not function properly.
Dealers will reinstall the inflator in the correct orientation to fix the problem.
