• Recall 2021077 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had the driver-front and/or passenger-front airbag inflator replaced after a collision or theft. An obsolete airbag may have been installed. On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective action: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a ford dealer to inspect the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator or module and replace it, if necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2018024 [Canada]: Airbag
  Note: a subset of 2006 rangers (vehicles built from august 5, 2005 through december 15, 2005) may pose a higher risk of airbag rupture than other recalled airbags. These vehicles are being recalled separately due to high risk under campaign 18s02. Click here to determine if your vehicle is affected. Vehicles subject to 18s02 should not be driven - contact a ford dealer immediately to have the vehicle repaired. On certain vehicles, the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace both the driver and passenger frontal airbag inflators.

• Recall 2017633 [Canada]: Airbag

The rear frame crossmember rusted to the point where the spare tire it supports almost fell out. I noticed it was hanging about 6' low so i caught it before it fell. The entire part is horribly corroded. Note that the wood was temporarily installed to hold the steel up to drive home.

The frame of my ranger has rusted badly , causing the rear spring shackles to no longer be attached to the frame.Also the bed of the truck has rusted away badly. I i spoke to a guy who specializes in frame / axle repair . After inspecting it , he told me that the only option to repair my truck was to replace the frame , because the frame is rusted too badly to be able to be welded , he said the only other option was to junk it . The truck has 102,000 miles on it and is otherwise in good condition . I had planned to own it for years to come . Now i am afraid to trust it . And i would not feel right about selling it to someone else . I use this truck to haul hay to feed my livestock , but now i am afraid to load it up and drive down the road with it .I had the tires replaced and the service center noted on the paperwork that the frame was bad and needed to have the spring mountings fixed ..,

Left side rear frame...Where the rear spring shackle attaches to the the frame rusted away. The frame rusted away, no where else is there rust through...The leaf spring ended up being supported by the bed of truck. Spring is attached to the rear axle. Axle can become free wheeling at any time. The right side rear shackle attachment looks as if the frame is going to fail any moment ...I can not believe the frame rusts away while the rest of the body is ok.....A temporary repair has been made with a 4 x 4 bolted to the frame and spring.

While driving the spare tire rack fell from the truck. Since the evap canister from the gas tank is attached to the spare tire rack it to was damaged with the canister being broken open while the rack scrapped on the road. After further inspection of the frame it was found that the gas tank support brackets had fallen completely off leaving only a thin strap supporting the gas tank. The frame also showed extensive corrosion on the front crossmember which supports the lower control arms. Brake line support tabs on the frame were also found to have completely separated from the frame at the weld. These are very dangerous situations and for highway safety and the trucks should be recalled. Thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.
