Faulty airbags manufactured by Takata have been a thorn in the sides of safety regulators, automakers, and consumers for years now, as those units were installed in millions of vehicles made by multiple manufacturers for a long time. Even today, years after the largest recall in automotive history was issued over the particular problem, there are still a lot of vehicles driving around with faulty airbags that can rupture and lead to injuries or worse – death. Now, Ford has issued a do-not-drive advisory for many of those impacted models.
