Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,300 model-year 2020 Ford Expedition SUVs

The Problem: The belt tension sensor in the front passenger seat belt buckle may malfunction and can lead to a misclassification of the size and weight of the occupant for the restraint system. In some circumstances, this malfunction may not be detected, and the airbag light may not illuminate, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Ford said it is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the front passenger seat belt buckle for free.

What Owners Should Do: Ford did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 800-392-3673, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
