This is the second Takata-related do-not-drive advisory from Ford, meant to encourage immediate repairs.

Affected Vehicles:

2007-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX

Why a Do-Not-Drive Advisory?
Age has made it "increasingly possible" for a part in the airbag to explode, potentially injuring or killing drivers/passengers.

What to Do:

Ford offers parts, mobile service, and dealership repairs with free loaners.
Visit www.ford.com/support/recalls/ or nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
Ford continues monthly notifications to known owners.

Approximately 374,300 Ford and Lincoln airbag inflators are impacted in the U.S., with 765,600 affected globally.
