Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ford recalled 1.2 million F-150 vehicles on Thursday, after finding a problem with the pick-up truck's airbag system.
Ford said a wiring fault could cause the airbag warning lamp to turn on and the airbag to deploy.
"We urge all of our customers to seek service immediately for an airbag warning lamp that is illuminated."
Ford has marketed the best-selling F-150 as a tough and reliable choice for work and personal use.
The firm said it was not aware of any accidents caused by the fault.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration welcomed the move.
"We are pleased that Ford shares our commitment to safety and is taking action to protect consumers," it said in a statement.
