The Problem: Increased temperatures generated during deployment of the seat belt anchor pretensioner could cause pretensioner cables to separate, which may inadequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will insulate the driver and front passenger seat belt anchor pretensioners by injecting a conformal coating to prevent cable separation in a crash, for free.
What Owners Should Do: Ford did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 for more info.
