Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 77,574 model year 2018-2020 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles because the seat belt pretensioner may activate without warning. When this happens, the seat belt for the driver or front passenger may lock permanently, preventing it from extending or retracting. Ford will replace the seat belt retractors and, if necessary, install a missing HVAC drain tube elbow at no cost to owners.
A seat belt that is locked and cannot retract or extend will fail to properly secure the driver or passenger during a collision, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury in a crash.
