Ford Ranger safety recalls in Southern Africa

Overview

Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa issued a safety recall for 2,275 Ford Ranger Double Cab vehicles from the 2026–2027 model year. The recall was announced by South Africa’s National Consumer Commission (NCC) due to concerns regarding side-curtain airbags.

The defect involves a potential interaction where the B-pillar trim could detach and become a projectile inside the vehicle during airbag deployment, increasing injury risks. The affected vehicles were sold through South African dealerships between May 22 and June 23, 2026, with some units exported to Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, and Eswatini. Authorized dealerships will perform necessary inspections and repairs at no cost.
