The 2005 Ford GT has 6 recalls, with the most serious being a risk that both the driver and passenger frontal airbag inflators can rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury or death.
The airbag inflator issue spans several filings but describes the same core problem: moisture exposure over time can cause the inflators to rupture rather than deploy cleanly. Some of these recalls specifically target vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity regions such as Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and U.S. territories, where the risk is considered greatest. Prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why multiple rounds of recalls exist for this defect.
There is also a suspension concern: the upper and lower front control arms may have casting imperfections that cause them to fracture under load. If a control arm breaks while driving, it can affect how the vehicle handles and steers, raising the risk of a crash.
