Ford re-recalls 100,000 older Rangers for Takata airbag do-over
That might be marginally better than getting blasted in the face or neck by Takata-branded shrapnel, but it's still not great. As of its notice to regulators, Ford said seven vehicles with incorrect inflator orientation have already been identified and replaced. What went wrong the first time? In short, the obvious. Here's the explanation, directly from Ford's recall documentation:
"Ford service instructions include diagrams and instructions for proper airbag inflator installation," it said."Technicians who mis-installed the inflator told Ford they did not review the instructions prior to installation." In other words, when conducting critical safety recalls, maybe you should RTFM. The company has reviewed records of the previous recall work and determined whichwere likely to have been improperly fixed. Notices will be circulated to owners starting in March.
