Ford rear seat belt buckles may be damaged if a heavy object is placed on, or impacts, the top of the buckle.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the rear/other buckle assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear seat belt buckles may be damaged if a heavy object is placed on, or impacts, the top of the buckle. The damage may prevent the buckle from latching or from remaining latched.
An unlatched seat belt increases the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will modify or replace the seat belt buckles, depending on their location in the vehicle, free of charge.
