The brand new Ford Puma has only just arrived at the Dutch dealers, but is already being recalled to the garage. The driver’s airbags can be released from the steering wheel after it has been fired.
Ford emphasizes to the British company Whatcar that safety is not at stake and that the airbag still meets the legal requirements in the event of an accident. Under certain circumstances, it is only possible that the driver’s airbag does not remain in the steering wheel after it has been activated in the event of an accident. These are Pumas that were produced between November 2019 and January this year.
The Dutch importer is aware of the recall and tells Techzle that a number of cars will also be recalled in the Netherlands. A number of other cars that are already in the Netherlands, but have not yet been handed over to their new owners, receive the update before the keys are given to customers.
