Details

What's wrong: The front passenger seatbelt buckle's belt tension sensor (bts) may malfunction and may result in the seat occupant being misclassified.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the restraint system may not provide the intended level of protection, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seatbelt buckle, free of charge. The recall began May 11, 2020.
