NHTSA warns owners to park Ford pickups with Takata airbags until fixed.

Bloomberg News (5/7, 4.02M) reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging owners of 2006 Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series pickups to keep their vehicles parked until the Takata airbags inside the vehicle have been replaced. NHTSA Deputy Administrator Heidi King reiterated the agency’s warning on Monday, “I cannot stress strongly enough the urgency of this recall – these air bags are dangerous,” adding, “Every vehicle must be accounted for now.” Bloomberg reports Ford has replaced the airbags in about 49 percent of the 33,320 affected Rangers and 55 percent of the 2,205 recalled Mazda vehicles.
