Ford Motor Company is recalling 56,473 of its 2025 F-150 hybrid trucks equipped with 3.5L hybrid electric powertrains. In these vehicles, the audible chime that alerts drivers and passengers when their seat belts are unbuckled may fail to activate when the vehicle is started. To fix this safety issue, dealers will perform a free software update for the vehicle's audio control module.
If the audible warning chime fails to sound, occupants may not realize their seat belts are unfastened. This increases the risk of severe injury or death to the driver and passengers during a vehicle crash.
