Affected vehicles include model-year 2024-26 Rangers. The side curtain airbags may come into contact with the B-pillar inner reinforcements and tear during deployment, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Dealers will resolve the issue by installing protective shields for free. Letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed Sept. 8; a second letter will be sent out once the remedy is available.
