(January 19, 2018) DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford is expanding a safety recall for certain Takata airbag inflators in North America. The recall involves 365,000 vehicles. Ford has also issued a safety recall for 363 model year 2018 Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators for a rear-door window issue.

As part of the third planned expansion of vehicles included in the Takata airbag inflator recalls described in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Takata Coordinated Remedy Order, Ford is expanding its safety recall on vehicles with certain passenger frontal airbag inflators after Takata declared those inflators defective.

This action represents primarily a planned expansion of previously recalled vehicles to new geographic regions.

Affected vehicles include approximately 365,000 2009-10 and 2013 Ford Mustang, 2009-10 Ford Fusion, 2009-10 Ford Ranger, 2009-10 Ford Edge, 2009-10 Lincoln MKZ, 2009-10 Lincoln MKX and 2009-10 Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America.
   
Ford is not aware of any injuries associated with the passenger side frontal inflators included in this safety recall.

In another action,  Ford has issued a safety compliance recall in North America for approximately 363 model year 2018 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for intermittent automatic reversal function in rear door windows.

In the affected vehicles, certain second-row window control modules were manufactured with an incorrect electronic component. If the power-operated window does not automatically reverse when it encounters an obstruction while the window is closing, it may increase the risk of injury.
   
Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue.
   
Affected vehicles include: 2018 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Nov. 27, 2017 to Dec. 9, 2017; 2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Nov. 27, 2017 to Dec. 7, 2017.

The recall involves 363 vehicles in North America with 361 in the United States and federalized territories and two in Canada. The Ford reference number for this recall is 18C01.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the second-row window electronic control module at no cost to the customer.
