The 2007 Ford Edge has 6 recalls, the most serious being front airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The airbag inflator defect affects both seating positions and spans multiple recall filings, though the core danger is the same: prolonged exposure to heat and humidity causes the propellant inside the inflator to degrade, and in a crash the inflator can rupture violently rather than deploy normally. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why multiple campaigns exist for this defect. Geographic applicability varies by filing, so owners should check their VIN regardless of where they currently live.
Both remaining recalls involve the fuel system and center on corrosion-related fire risk. In salt-belt states and Canadian provinces where roads are treated heavily in winter, the steel brackets that hold the fuel tank in place can corrode at their weld seams, eventually allowing the tank to shift or drop. Separately, vehicles originally sold or registered in a broader set of northeastern and midwestern states face a fuel tank assembly defect where corrosion can open a leak in the tank itself, and any nearby ignition source, including a hot exhaust component, raises the risk of a fire underneath the vehicle.
At a glance
What can fail
The driver's side air bag inflator may explode. This can happen when the propellant degrades after prolonged exposure to high heat, humidity, and temperature changes.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the driver-side airbag inflator or module with a new one at no cost to you.

What can fail
In vehicles exposed to road salt in winter, corrosion can form at the fuel tank mounting bracket welds. This may create a hole in the fuel tank, causing fuel vapors or liquid fuel to leak. A check-engine light may appear, and fuel odor or leaking fuel may be noticed.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and repair or replace it if corrosion damage is found.

What can fail
The fuel tank seam weld under the mounting brackets may corrode from road salt exposure, potentially causing fuel leaks.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and either clean and treat it with corrosion preventative or replace it at no cost.
