Ford and Chrysler recall 2 million more cars over Takata airbag issue
The list of cars containing a potentially malfunctioning Takata airbag has just become even longer.
Ford has added the 2009-2014 Mustang and the 2006 Ranger pickup to its list of recalls while Chrysler has also added newer models of cars already listed plus a completely new edition.
Chrysler's list of vehicles now includes the 2009-2010 Chrysler 300, 2008-2010 Dodge Charger, 2009-2011 Dodge Dakota, 2009 Ram (2500 and 3500), 2009-2010 Ram (4500 ad 5500) and 2008-2010 Mitsubishi Raider, all of which were listed but for earlier models. However, the 2005-2010 Dodge Magnum has been added to the list for the first time.
Each of these cars has been identified as containing a potentially faulty airbag made by Japanese firm Takata which, due to a suspected problem with the propellant, explode with such force that they are capable of firing shrapnel through the airbag upon detonation.
