Ford and its Lincoln luxury brand have recalled 561 Explorer and Aviator SUVs from model years 2020-2026 because their second-row outboard seat belts may not be properly attached.
An improperly secured seat belt could contribute to injuries in an accident. The company tells federal safety officials it knows of three field reports of improperly attached seat belts, but no accidents or injuries related to the problem.
Dealers will reattach the belts, tightening bolts to the specified torque, to fix the problem.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
Manufacturers recall many cars, often more than once, during their lifespan. Automakers try to contact every owner but don’t always reach them all. Discover if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls with the easy-to-use vehicle identification number (VIN) tool at our recall center.
