Ford is recalling nearly 420,000 vehicles for a seat belt issue
Ford said front seat belt retractors may lock or retract too fast, and the company knows of two warranty claims and one injury.
- On Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that Ford is recalling nearly 420,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles from model years 2018 through 2022 due to a seat belt defect.
- Seat belts may lock inadvertently, failing to retract or extend properly and creating safety risks that could cause injuries during a crash or rapid retraction.
- Ford Motor is aware of two warranty claims and two field reports related to the defect, along with one injury associated with the faulty seat belt retractors.
- Vehicle owners will receive mail notifications and can visit Ford or Lincoln dealers to have front seat belt retractors inspected and replaced free of charge.
