You know what feels like a long time ago? The first Takata inflator recall in May of 2013. That’s back when we were young and optimistic that the issue would be resolved quickly.

Now I can hardly remember what it feels like to have hope at all. Especially as we stare down the barrel of another recall expansion for passenger-side inflators in the Mustang, Edge, Fusion, and Ranger. CarComplaints.com has information on which model years and zones.

Across the industry 3.3 million vehicles are getting called back. There have been more confirmed casualties due to the inflators, and now there’s a stop-driving order for certain Ranger owners before it happens again.

It’s no wonder US Senators have started asking questions. Ooo, I have a question – what the heck took them so long?
