Ford expands drivers air bag recall nationwide
Source: AP-Excite
DETROIT (AP) — Ford says it's expanding a recall for faulty driver's side air bag inflators to the entire U.S. as demanded by the government.
The move adds 447,000 Ford vehicles to the list of those recalled due to driver's inflators made by Japan's Takata Corp. The inflators can explode with too much force, spewing shrapnel into drivers and passengers.
Ford's action puts pressure on BMW and Chrysler, the only two automakers that haven't agreed to national recalls. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration made the demand, saying the inflators are dangerous.
