Takata. Recall. Two words that I'm tired of typing and you're sick of hearing about. Yet here we are with another recall of 816,000 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles that have ticking time-bombs for airbags. Some vehicles are being recalled for the second time.

I bet you know the script by now:

  1. Over time Takata airbag inflators are susceptible to moisture.
  2. When that moisture mixes with the airbag's propellant, the inflators become unstable and can explode sending shrapnel throughout the cabin.
  3. The problem is responsible for 11 deaths in the USA alone.

Ford – including Lincoln and Mercury – has now recalled over 3 million vehicles for this problem. Find out if yours is on the most recent list and make sure to scroll through all the different recall "zones."

The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
