| Manufacturer | Ford Motor Company |
| NHTSA Campaign ID | 21V076000 |
| Summary | Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2004-2006 Ranger vehicles that may be equipped with a driver or passenger frontal air bag inflator used as a replacement service part, that may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling. |
