Details

What's wrong: The front passenger outboard seat belt may not have been assembled properly, allowing the seat belt to be misrouted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "occupant crash protection" and 209, "seat belt assemblies."

Why it matters: A misrouted seat belt may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Ford will provide owners with instructions to perform a preliminary inspection of their front seat belts. Owners that detect an issue with the driver's seat belt, are unsure of the results, or do not want to perform an inspection, should not drive their vehicles and contact a Ford dealership.…
