Ford recalls 2008 vehicles because of air bag assembly error

Driver?s air bag may not properly deploy

On December 10, 2007, Ford Motor Company recalled 2008 Ford Expeditions, Ford F-250s, Ford F-350s, and Ford Focuses because the driver air bag module may not have been assembled properly. In the event of a collision, the air bag may not properly deploy, which could result in catastrophic injury from a car accident.

Ford dealers have said they will replace the driver air bag module free of charge. Consumers may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.

For more information, customers may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or visit safercar.gov.
