Ford F-150 recall

[James48843]

Just an FYI-

Some Ford F-150's are being recalled for a wiring problem that may cause the airbag to deploy.

Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday it will recall nearly 150,000 F-150 pickup trucks to fix air bags that could deploy without warning.

The recall covers trucks from the 2005-2006 model years in the United States and Canada for what the auto company calls a "relatively low risk" of the air bag deploying inadvertently.

The recall, however, is much smaller in scope than what the government had requested. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, citing 77 injuries, told the company in a November 2010 memo that the recall should cover 1.3 million F-150 trucks from the 2004-2006 model years.

Problem appears to be a wire bundle chafing in the steering wheel, of those trucks built on first shift at the Virginia Ford plant. F-150's built at the Michigan plant and the Missouri plant are not part of the recall. No deaths, but 77 injuries, are reported in connection with the airbag deployments.

Ah. Nothing like the airbag blowing up in your face flying down the Interstate at 80mph.

Thats what F-150 owners like about a Ford Truck.
