Why is Ford issuing a do-not-drive for some vehicles with Takata airbags?

The vehicles' age makes it "increasingly possible" that a part inside the airbag will explode and expel sharp metal fragments during a crash, Ford says, which could cause serious injury or death for the driver or passengers.

Ford says it is still trying to contact customers about these recalls, with more than 121 million outreach attempts to date in the U.S., and more than 95% of U.S. customers under the recalls have completed them.

There are approximately 374,300 airbag inflators in Ford and Lincoln vehicles impacted in the U.S., and 765,600 globally.

What to do if your vehicle is impacted by the do-not-drive advisory

Ford said parts are available now. Customers can request mobile service, or dealers can tow the vehicles directly to the dealership for repair.

Dealerships will also provide a free interim loaner vehicle during the repair, if necessary.

Ford said it will continue notifying known owners about the recalls every month with the updated do-not-drive advisory. To see if your vehicle is part of the recall, visit either www.ford.com/support/recalls/ or nhtsa.gov/recalls.
