The 1994 Ford F-150 has 3 recalls, the most serious being Firestone Wilderness AT and Radial ATX tires in size P235/75R15 that can shed their tread at highway speeds in hot weather, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Tread separation typically happens when these tires run at low inflation pressure combined with high speed and high ambient temperatures, and if it occurs, the resulting loss of steering and stability can lead to a crash. There are also two airbag concerns. In one, a flaw in the airbag diagnostic monitor can cause the driver's airbag to fire without warning when the passenger door is slammed while the key is being turned to start the engine, sending the bag into the driver's face and chest at a moment when no crash is occurring. In the other, certain trucks were built with a non-functional airbag diagnostic module meant for heavier commercial vehicles, which means the airbag system does not work at all and the dashboard warning light that would alert the driver to that failure also stays dark.
