Ford warns owners of certain vehicles with potentially faulty Takata airbags installed under previous recalls to refrain from driving if the repairs haven’t been made within the recommended timeframe.

In 2015, the automotive manufacturer took action by issuing its initial recall related to Takata airbags. Like many other major automakers, Ford installed Takata-made airbag inflators in its vehicles, which were prone to malfunctioning and deploying metal shards during a collision.

2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

Ford said approximately 765,600 airbag inflators worldwide were impacted, with an additional 374,300 affecting vehicles in the United States, according to a company press release. The auto manufacturer states that a significant 95% of customers have completed recall repairs, as reported so far in the US market. Through a diverse array of communication channels, including written correspondence, electronic mail, verbal phone conversations, SMS exchanges, and numerous in-home consultations with customers.

Notwithstanding, certain cars have remained largely unchanged. The vehicle’s airbag system includes passenger airbag inflators on both hybrid and non-hybrid models, complemented by driver and passenger airbag inflators across various Ford and Lincoln designs. As the age of these classic automobiles increases, they are becoming increasingly accessible.

2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid

The Ford Fusion midsize sedan debuted in the 2006 model year. The Ford Fusion has spawned two notable derivatives: the Milan and Zephyr, with the latter adopting the MKZ moniker in its 2006 rebirth as a new model for the 2008 model year. In 2010, a mid-cycle refresh brought hybrid powertrain options to the Ford Fusion lineup, while the Mercury Milan received the same upgrade but only for another year before its discontinuation in 2011. The 2011 MKZ Hybrid debuted, with a price tag identical to its non-hybrid counterpart.

Now, alternative components are available, according to Ford’s announcement at the product launch. Clients can request replacement of their cellular service or have their vehicles towed to a dealership for substitute of the affected airbag inflators. Sellers may offer complimentary loaner vehicles when necessary to facilitate a seamless transaction.

If you’re a homeowner in need of assistance from Ford, you can reach out to their dedicated customer support team by dialing 1-866-436-7332 or visit their comprehensive recall website for prompt and personalized guidance.
