Ford front passenger seat belt automatic locking retractor (ALR) may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the front retractor. Here is what owners need to know.
The front passenger seat belt automatic locking retractor (ALR) may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the front passenger seat belt assembly, and replace the assembly as necessary, free of charge.
