1994 Mercury Tracer recalls, newest first

November 10, 1994NHTSA 94V218000240 vehicles potentially affected

Air bags › Frontal

Summary: The driver side air bag module can have an inadequately welded inflator canister.
Consequence: In the event of a collision, the weld seam can separate, causing the air bag to fail to deploy properly and hot gases to be expelled from the back of the steering wheel. This can result in an increased risk of personal injury from the hot gases and the air bag failure.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new air bag module.
