Oct. 14, 2019—Ford is recalling 17,965 Ford Ranger pickup trucks for a possible fire risk related to the HVAC system, per a report by CNET.

Once the recalled vehicles are brought in to the dealerships, a technician will inspect the blower motor, and if the part falls in a suspect parts production date, the customer will get a new blower motor free of charge.
