More Ford vehicles have been added to the ACCC’s mandatory Takata airbag recall.
Courier, Econovan and Ranger totalling 90,700 vehicles have been added to the long list.
Exactly 69,363 Rangers built from September 8, 2006 to August 1, 2011 have beta version Takata airbags needing replacement before the December 31, 2020 deadline.
Ford Couriers numbering 20,037 and built from February 2, 2004 to September 21, 2006 also have beta driver airbags.
Plus 1300 Econovans built from February 2, 2004 to October 31, 2005 need recalling.
There is also a recall on Sperling Enterprises custom fitting seat covers designed for 2013-onward Toyota RAV4 and 2015-onward Hilux SR5 dual-cab and four-door ‘Workmate’ extra-cab models.
The side stitching and fabric panelling of the seat covers “may not come apart to allow the airbag to deploy correctly”.
