Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles are equipped with second row center seat belt buckles that may not be properly secured to the seat.

Why it matters: Vehicles with seat belt buckles that are not properly secured may fail to restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the second row center seat assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2020.
