Ford Recalls Nearly 420,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator Vehicles Due to Allegedly Defective Seatbelts


UNITED STATES — Ford is recalling nearly 420,000 vehicles due to a seat belt issue that could increase the risk of injury in a crash. The recall affects certain model-year 2018 through 2022 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the seat belts in affected vehicles may lock unexpectedly, preventing them from extending or retracting properly. Safety officials warn that a seat belt that cannot function as intended may reduce occupant protection during a collision. In some situations, rapid seat belt retraction may also pose an injury risk.

Federal regulators said the latest recall expands upon and replaces two previous recalls involving the same issue. There has been at least one injury related to the defect.

Drivers and passengers should not have to question whether a seat belt will function properly when they buckle up. A seat belt that unexpectedly locks or fails to move as intended can affect both comfort and safety. Because seat belts play a critical role in protecting vehicle occupants during a collision, defects involving the restraint system deserve serious attention.
