Ford is recalling 140,201 Ranger ‌vehicles in the U.S. as damaged wires can create an electrical short and cause a fire in the A-pillar area, increasing the risk of injury or a crash, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.

 

The sun visor or headliner wiring harnesses may be ‌improperly positioned or have excessive tape thickness, which can result in damaged wires, the regulator said.
