Mumbai: Ford Motor Co. has decided to recall around 2 lakh Ranger Pick-up Trucks in the US. The company is recalling 231,942 Ranger vehicles manufactured between 2004 to 2006. The decision was taken because replacement front passenger air bag inflators may have been installed incorrectly.
The vehicles had received replacement front passenger air bag inflators under a previous recall. An incorrectly installed inflator may not properly inflate the passenger air bag, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
