Explorer Owners Report Serious Burns From Side Airbag Deployment

Ford Explorer drivers and front-seat passengers report suffering second- and third-degree burns when the seat-mounted side airbags deploy, in many cases requiring medical treatment. Several of these reports involve law enforcement officers driving Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles. These complaints have prompted federal safety regulators to open a preliminary investigation covering more than 1.2 million 2021-2026 Ford Explorer vehicles.

Ford Fails To Remedy

Despite these reports, Ford has not issued a recall or offered owners any fix, and the company has not publicly explained why the side airbags are burning drivers and passengers. Federal regulators are still in the early stages of their investigation, and it could take months or even years before a recall is ordered, leaving Explorer owners without answers or a remedy in the meantime.
