http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_ford_recall
WASHINGTON/DETROIT (Reuters) – Ford Motor Co and U.S. safety regulators have agreed to a greatly expanded recall of the best-selling vehicle in North America, the Ford F-150 pickup truck, the regulators said.
The recall is for a possible short circuit that could cause airbags to deploy unexpectedly, and involves nearly 1.2 million F-150 pickup trucks and few Lincoln Mark LT vehicles, said the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall affects trucks from the model years 2004 to 2006 and Lincoln Mark LTs from model year 2006.
Previously, 144,000 of the pickup trucks were recalled. The expansion comes after talks between the automaker and the safety regulators in Washington.

OK so how funny is this.....
I had my wife's explorer sport trac at deal ship today getting trans service and I asked the service guy to look my truck up regarding this. He looked it up and said I was under the recall at the same time a tech was behind him and said "I'll do it right now". Walked out to my truck, took the bag off and replaced the wire harness in less than 5 minutes. This recall is nothing big and takes longer to get your paperwork than it does for them to do the swap out.
BTW this news cast was on their TV in the waiting room. It was kinda ironic.
