NHTSA probes 1.2M Ford Explorers over side airbag burns causing serious injuries

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a preliminary investigation into over 1.2 million Ford Explorer vehicles from model years 2021 to 2026 due to accidental deployment of seat-mounted side airbags. These deployments have caused serious second- and third-degree burn injuries to drivers, front-seat passengers, and some law enforcement officers using Police Interceptor versions. NHTSA has received eight complaints and four early warning reports related to these incidents. This probe highlights safety concerns around the airbags and could lead to recalls or repairs if defects are confirmed.
