The 2009 Ford Edge has 7 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag defect where both the driver and front passenger airbag inflators can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
Both front airbag inflators are affected: the passenger side and driver side inflators can rupture or explode on deployment, scattering sharp metal fragments toward occupants. This risk is heightened in vehicles that have spent time in high-humidity, high-temperature regions, though multiple filings cover a broad range of geographic areas.
The other significant concern involves the fuel tank. Corrosion can develop at the weld seams beneath the fuel tank mounting brackets, particularly on vehicles exposed to road salt over many winters. A corroded tank can leak fuel, and if that fuel contacts an ignition source, a fire can result. This issue is most relevant to vehicles registered in northern states and Canadian provinces where road salt is regularly used.
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 used in salt-treated winter roads, corrosion can develop at welded fuel tank mounting bracket seams. A hole may form, causing fuel vapour or fuel leaks, with possible warning light, fuel odour, or visible fuel.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and repair or replace it if corrosion damage is found.

What can fail
Salt water exposure causes corrosion at the fuel tank seam weld under the mounting brackets, 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.
