The 2007 Ford Edge has 6 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag defect affecting both the driver and passenger frontal airbags, where the inflators can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The airbag concern spans multiple filings but describes the same underlying hazard: long-term exposure to heat and humidity causes the inflator propellant to degrade, making the inflators prone to explosion during a crash deployment. The remaining two recalls both involve the fuel tank. In vehicles operated in regions where road salt is heavily used, corrosion can develop at the weld seams beneath the fuel tank mounting brackets, and separately, the fuel tank itself can develop a leak. Either condition creates a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire if an ignition source is nearby.
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.
