Ford Truck Recall Expanding to 1.2 Million Trucks

Ford F-150 recall expanding to almost 1.2 million trucks 

Ford Motor Co. is expanding a recall of the popular F-150 pickup truck due to air bag issues. Models from 2004 through 2006 are affected by the recall, bringing the estimated number of defective trucks to 1.2 million. An electrical issue may cause the air bags to deploy unexpectedly, injuring drivers. 

Earlier this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wanted Ford to recall all 1.2 million trucks, but Ford replied that the full recall was not justified because owners got a warning of the problem from the dashboard's air bag warning light. NHTSA disagreed and Ford officially agreed to the full recall earlier this week. 

Ford's F-Series pickup truck is a popular brand in America, and the F-150 makes up about 60 percent of F-Series sales. Defective air bags can cause devastating accidents.
