What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. In the event of a crash, heat from the deployment of a seat belt pretensioner may cause a front seat belt anchor cable to fail.
Why it is dangerous
A failed seat belt anchor cable cannot properly restrain the front seat occupants, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will apply a protective coating to the seat belt cable, free of charge. The recall began September 9, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S25. Note: This recall is an expansion of a recall 16V-875.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 19V-590 when calling a dealer.
