What are the defects?
Due to a defect during assembly, some vehicles may have the driver’s seatbelt assembled incorrectly. This will reduce the effectiveness of the seatbelt in the event of an accident.
What are the hazards?
If the seatbelt is not assembled correctly, it will not adequately restrain the occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or death.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ford to ensure their details are correct.
Ford will contact affected owners requesting that owners make an appointment at their preferred Ford Authorised Dealership for inspection and rectification to be carried out free of charge.
