Ford said two warranty claims, two field reports and one injury prompted the recall, which covers 419,967 Expedition and Navigator vehicles.
- On Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that Ford is recalling nearly 420,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles from model years 2018 through 2022 due to a seat belt defect.
- Seat belts may lock inadvertently, failing to retract or extend properly and creating safety risks that could cause injuries during a crash or rapid retraction.
- Ford Motor is aware of two warranty claims and two field reports related to the defect, along with one injury associated with the faulty seat belt retractors.
- Vehicle owners will receive mail notifications and can visit Ford or Lincoln dealers to have front seat belt retractors inspected and replaced free of charge.
