Ford Issues Do-Not-Drive Warning for Vehicles with Takata Airbags
Over 750,000 Vehicles Affected
Owners Urged to Park and Contact Dealers Immediately
Ford Motor Company has issued a do-not-drive advisory for over 750,000 vehicles that are still affected by Takata airbag recalls. The advisory affects certain models of the Ford Mustang, Ranger, and Lincoln MKZ, as well as vehicles from other manufacturers.
Ford is urging drivers of affected vehicles to park their cars and contact their dealers immediately. The automaker is providing free towing and rental cars to customers who need them.
The do-not-drive warning is critical because the affected Takata airbags have been linked to multiple deaths and injuries. The airbags can rupture and send metal fragments into the passenger compartment, posing a serious safety risk.
Ford is expanding its do-not-drive warning to include additional model years and vehicles. Owners of affected vehicles should check Ford's website or contact their dealer for more information.
