Airbag Defect Prompts Ford to Recall 100,000 Ranger Pickups Nationwide
Ford Recalls 100,000 Ranger Pickups Over Faulty Airbags, Raising Safety Concerns.
Ford is recalling more than 100,000 Ranger pickups from model years 2024–2026 due to a defect that could cause side airbags to tear upon deployment.
The automaker announced that 100,900 vehicles built between December 2022 and July 2025 are affected. According to Ford, the side curtain airbags may rupture if they come into contact with interior body components during a crash.
This marks the third major Ranger recall in recent months. In August, Ford addressed a brake booster defect, while in May it recalled vehicles over faulty rearview cameras. A smaller recall was also issued earlier for steering system issues.
Owners have been notified by mail, but the protective shield plates needed to complete the repair are not yet available. Ford says installations will begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, at which point customers will be able to schedule service appointments. In the meantime, owners are advised to monitor recall updates on the NHTSA website or Ford’s official recall portal.
