Ranger

Ford is recalling Ranger passenger cars distributed in Germany because the side airbags may not deploy properly and the B-pillar paneling may detach during deployment, and the head airbags may not provide adequate protection for front-seat occupants in certain positions. These issues could reduce occupant protection in a collision and increase injury risk. The vehicles do not meet European motor vehicle safety regulations.
