Unthinkable: Ford recalls 150,000 F-150s for airbag problem
The trucks being recalled were produced between November 2004 and June 2005 at Ford's Norfolk, Va., assembly plant. In the U.S., 135,000 trucks are being recalled and 9,000 more are being recalled in Canada.
The problem was caused by an improperly placed wire in the steering wheel, where the airbag is housed. Insulating material on the wire can rub off, causing a short circuit that can lead to the warning lights and inadvertent deployment.
I hate it when that happens.
Obviously the folks who were responsible for ME unrest are the ones who are responsible for this. Or maybe it was pirates. Or Ga-daffy himself. We need an extensive investigation spearheaded by Carlson. And when the perpetrators have been found, they must be made to drive Priuses until the day they die.
