Ford Motor Co. says it will recall 154,000 of its Fiesta subcompacts due to a problem with the vehicle?s airbag system, according to The Detroit Bureau.com.
Apparently the side impact airbags will not deploy in a crash if the front passenger seat is empty even though it should.
The Fiesta recall covers the Mexican-made model line built between Nov. 3, 2009 and Sept. 21, 2012 - which shows you how long the defect has existed and how long it took for Ford to realize it.
