Possible Safety Defects in Ford F150, Escape and Mazda Tribute
The National Highways and Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating reports of possible inadvertent air bag deployment in Ford F150 Trucks manufactured between 2004-2006. NHSTA is also evaluating a possible safety defect in Ford Escape and Mazda Tributes SUVs manufactured between 2001-2004, which may cause the engine compartment to catch fires. Once these “Preliminary Evaluations” have been completed, the NHTSA will determine if a full “Engineering Analysis” of the affected models is needed.
