Ford will recall more than 950,000 vehicles worldwide due to Takata airbags

In the past year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the recall of more than 12.32 million vehicles, of which American models accounted for the largest number, accounting for 37%, reaching more than 4.58 million vehicles. According to media reports, Ford Motor Company is currently recalling more than 950,000 vehicles worldwide, of which 782,000 vehicles will be recalled in the United States.

The main reason for the vehicle recall is that the Takata airbags used have safety hazards. The airbags are in danger of exploding and ejecting fragments. It is reported that this type of airbag has caused at least 23 deaths worldwide.

The recalled models include the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang sports car.

It is estimated that about 37 million vehicles are equipped with about 50 million potentially defective Takata airbags, and the recall will be carried out in stages until 2020, with vehicles with faulty airbags most likely to be recalled first.

Because of the Takata airbag problem, Changan Ford recalled more than 337,000 Mondeo models at one time in July 2018. However, Ford is not the only one affected by Takata airbags.
