The company says the air bags were not purged from the stock of service parts and could have been used in crash or theft repairs. In a smaller recall, Ford found just over 1,100 vehicles that may have gotten obsolete Takata air bags in collision repairs. Takata used the volatile chemical ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate the air bags in a crash. The air bags have caused at least 27 deaths worldwide, including 18 in the U.S. About 400 have been injured.
