Ford Widens Air Bag Recall Of F150 Trucks From 144,000 to 1.2 Million Vehicles

Ford Motor Co. is recalling almost 1.2 million full-sized pickups for a problem in which airbags can go off when not needed, expanding a much smaller recall it had instituted months earlier.

Ford recalled 144,000 trucks over the problem in February but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said at the time it was continuing to investigate the issue and might demand that the automaker issue a much larger recall, which Ford is now doing.

The best part is that they've been fighting this tooth and nail. The airbags aren't a safety issue "because they go off at intial startup and before the car is moving"....I'm sure that's comforting. As long as the airbag goes off before the car is moving then that's just peachy!

What! The Red Formula 1 car? Oh, wait, thats a Ferrari F150th, not a Ford F150... I always get the two confused...

So I suppose Ferrari is trying to piggy back on the success of the F150 to become one of the most recalled vehicle...
