Ford Motor Company has announced a recall affecting nearly 420,000 vehicles due to a critical seat belt issue that could lead to injuries during crashes. The recall includes specific Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models manufactured between 2018 and 2022. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlighted that the seat belts may inadvertently lock, preventing proper retraction or extension, which can increase the risk of injury in an accident. Ford is aware of two warranty claims and one reported injury related to this defect. Vehicle owners will receive notifications and can have the seat belt retractors inspected and replaced at no cost. In a separate action, Ford has issued a do-not-drive order for approximately 4,600 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles from model years 2021 to 2026 due to potential issues with the front lower control arm ball joints, which could detach and lead to loss of vehicle control. Affected owners are encouraged to contact Ford customer service or the NHTSA for further details.
