Ford Motor Company — Front Seat Belts May Not Restrain Occupants
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
A failed seat belt anchor cable cannot properly restrain the front seat occupants, increasing their risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will apply a protective coating to the seat belt cable, free of charge. The recall began September 9, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S25. Note: This recall is an expansion of a recall 16V-875.
