The short version

Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the front webbing. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

WHY IT MATTERS

A misrouted seat belt may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Ford will provide owners with instructions to perform a preliminary inspection of their front seat belts, free of charge.
