Takata recall. I crashed my 1996 Ford Ranger in 2010. Both airbags deployed. My collision shop replaced the airbags with unknown year Ford Ranger airbags, buying some new parts from Ford to complete the install. There is no way to know if these are recalled takata airbags without an inspection. My local Ford dealership, varsity Ford in ann arbor mi, is refusing to do anything without a recall notice. Any inspection, even if these are recalled airbags, will be at my cost because this is a 1996 truck. I called Ford's recall line and explained the situation, and they referred me to my local dealership. There seems to be no plan to track down dangerous takata airbags installed after manufacture, even if they were originally installed in another vehicle that would have been recalled.

I hit a small deer doing about 35 miles per hour and pulled over to the side of the road about three minutes later another auto came up from behind and rear ended me my air bag deployed then. Why did it deploy then and not when I hit the deer. The only damage I did to the front end to my truck was cracked the gill and others around it. The damage that the other auto did was bent the bumper under my truck along with the brackets too, the impact from the other auto was loud and was heard from about a mile away. The auto that rear ended me was going about 55 to 60 miles per hour.

The drivers side airbag deployed in a rear end crash that pushed my vehicle into another vehicle. When the airbag deployed something was aparently was ejected from the bag assembly that struck the interior roof of truck doing noticable damage to the headline and roof. The servicing dealer, berge Ford in mesa AZ is not willing to admit that the damage was caused by the airbag. I do not agree with that.
