The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the seat belts pretensioner. Here is what owners need to know.
The seat belt pretensioner in the driver and/or front passenger seat may inadvertently lock the seat belt, which will not allow the belt to retract or extend.
Seat belts that do not retract or extend can fail to restrain an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the seat belt retractors as necessary, free of charge.
