What Happened
The passenger air bag in your 2004-2006 Ford Ranger is a safety device that deploys in a crash to protect you. However, the inflator that makes the bag deploy could fail and rupture, sending sharp metal fragments into the passenger compartment.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator ruptures in a crash, it could shoot metal pieces at you and the other occupants, leading to serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Ford will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a safer one at no cost to you. Don't drive your vehicle until the repair is done, and contact Ford to schedule the replacement as soon as possible.
