Product Recall on Ford F-150 Trucks Announced

The Ford F-150 is a popular truck and quite a few owners are most likely not very happy about a recent recall that was announced earlier this year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requested Ford to recall their F-150 trucks that were manufactured between 2004 and 2006 due to a possible defect in their air bags.

Up to 1.2 million cars may have the defective bags, the source being traced back to an electrical short that can cause the air bags to deploy unexpectedly. Notices are to be sent out to replace the air bag wire in the steering wheel for the targeted recall customers.

Reports have been noted of 300 cases in which the air bags deployed inadvertently causing some serious injuries. Product recalls are by no means uncommon and people do need to understand that often times, we can be too trusting of manufacturers and distributers when it comes to quality.  

If You Have Been Injured
