Ford loses track of dangerous air bags, forcing 2 recalls
The company on Thursday issued two recalls, with the largest coming because Ford can't find 45 obsolete air bags that may have been installed on some old Ranger pickup trucks. The company says the air bags were not purged from the stock of service parts and could have been used in crash or theft repairs. In a smaller recall, Ford found just over 1,100 vehicles that may have gotten obsolete Takata air bags in collision repairs. Takata used the volatile chemical ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate the air bags in a crash. The air bags have caused at least 27 deaths worldwide, including 18 in the U.S. About 400 have been injured.
