Ford Motor Co. is expanding its recall of cars and trucks equipped with Takata Corp. airbag inflators to 1.51 million units in North America.
The extension will replace driver frontal airbags in 2005-2014 Ford Mustangs and 2005-2006 Ford GT supercars and passenger frontal airbags in 2004-2006 Ford Ranger pickup trucks.
The Takata inflators can explode when activated in a crash. Ford is aware of one case where that may have happened with one of the affected vehicles.
Ford's expansion is among many expected over the next several days as carmakers respond to Takata's admission in mid-May that it supplied at least 11 vehicle manufacturers with a combined 33.8 million defective inflators.
