The Ford Motor Company has recalled\u00a0419,967 vehicles<\/u> connected to a faulty seat belt problem.\u00a0<\/p>

In a May 27 recall notice, the\u00a0National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/u> explained that seat belts that don\u2019t retract or extend may fail or restrain a person in the vehicle, elevating the risk of an injury or crash.\u00a0<\/p>

Which Ford vehicles were recalled?<\/h2>
<\/div>

Why you should care:<\/p>

Ford\u2019s recall affects certain 2018-2022 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.\u00a0National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/u> officials say that the “seat belt pretensioner” in the driver and\/or front passenger seat could inadvertently lock the seat belt, preventing the belt from retracting or extending.<\/p>

Are repairs available for the recalled Ford vehicles?<\/h2>

What you can do:<\/p>

Owners of the recalled Ford vehicles can take them to their local dealership where technicians will assess and replace the seat belt retractors if needed for free.\u00a0<\/p>

RELATED:<\/strong>\u00a0Ford recalls over 4,000 vehicles with a ‘do not drive’ warning<\/u><\/strong>Interim letters to notify owners of the safety hazard will be mailed on June 8, with additional letters mailed once a remedy is available, which are expected in August.\u00a0<\/p>

Anyone with questions about the recall can call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. According to the\u00a0National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/u>, this recall replaces and expands previous NHTSA recalls 24V099 and 25V197. Cars previously evaluated or repaired under the prior recalls will need the new repair completed.\u00a0<\/p>
