BLOG EXTRA: Ford Recalls 400,000 Mustangs for Defective Airbags

Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 400,000 model year 2005 to 2008 Mustangs because the passenger-side airbags may cause neck injuries to small women or large children riding in the seat without being buckled up. According to an article on consumer watchdog Web site Consumeraffairs.com, federal officials informed Ford last year of this problem after conducting a lengthy investigation. Mustang owners are asked to contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236.
