recall
Just got a letter in the mail, that the passenger side airbag might send metal fragments my way when deployed and kill me. I have a 2005 Ranger. The dealers are waiting for the replacement parts to be ready. Fun stuff. Passenger side airbag turned off. Yay.

its part of the takata (sp?) recall. Those airbags were part of a recall that effected 34 million cars from all manufacturers.

I got into an accident in my 2006 Ranger about 4 years ago, airbags deployed. I didn't get any shrapnel from it. Got my truck fixed and back on the road, and now I'm receiving this recall too. I wonder if my replacement airbag is also "defective?" Regardless, I'm bringing it to the dealer once the parts are in.

Apparently only 2004-2006 Ranger is subject to recall.

I don't know about your 2009, but my 2004 has an on-off switch for the passenger airbag only. To use it, you need to insert your key into the switch. It's located in the dash, in the middle, near the bottom.
I just got my recall notification, and it's for the passenger side only.
