Ford and Mazda Again Warn Drivers of Vehicles With Takata Airbags

Ford and Mazda have both warned owners of certain vehicles to avoid driving them over risks posed by Takata airbags, reports Reuters.

Owners of vehicles including Ranger trucks, Mustang and GT sports cars, Fusion sedans, and certain SUVs such as the Edge, are being advised by Ford to reach out to a dealership immediately for repairs.

In spite of previous recalls and over 121 million outreach attempts, Ford has shared that around 374,300 of its vehicles in the U.S. still contain Takata airbags, which have been known to explode and release dangerous metal fragments.

Mazda, too, said that 83,000 of its U.S. vehicles also still pose a threat. Models including the CX-7 crossover and RX8 sports car are said to be affected.
