NHTSA recall 16V111000
Seat Belts · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with rear passenger seats. The rear seat belt buckles may be damaged if a heavy object is placed on, or impacts, the top of the buckle. The damage may prevent the buckle from latching or from remaining latched.
Why it matters: An unlatched seat belt increases the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will modify or replace the seat belt buckles, depending on their location in the vehicle, free of charge. The recall began May 18, 2016.
