Ford F150 Recall

TMW - 2-24-2011 at 10:43 AM

Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday it will recall 150,000 F150 trucks from the 2005-2006 model years to fix air bags that deploy without warning.

The government however has urged Ford to recall 1.3 million F150s from the 2004-2006 model years citing 77 injuries from air bags deplying accidentally.

It was bad enough when there was ONE of the Damned things lurking in the Steering Wheel. Now we're surrounded by the Lethal Weapons.

A number of years back there was a news segment (60 Minutes ?) on Mechanics who were stealing Airbags out of customer cars. The comment was made that some of them were so good that they didn't leave a trace. My reaction was "How do I get a list of THOSE Guys. I've got a deal for them".

Still do. Six in one truck, Two in another and One in a Third.
