For this Ford Motor Co. recall, the seat belt pretensioner in the driver and/or front passenger seat may inadvertently deploy and lock the seat belt, which will not allow the belt to retract or extend. Seat belts that do not retract or extend may fail to restrain an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of [injury in a crash](). Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt retractors, as necessary. Additionally, dealers will install an HVAC drain tube elbow if it is missing. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed March 4, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated second half of 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 24S06. If you own a 2018-2020 Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator, be sure to consult the [NHTSA recalls portion of the website]() and type in the specific VIN of your truck to see if this current recall applies to your vehicle. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov. ## **Ford Motor Co. recall information:** **NHTSA Campaign Number:** 24V099000 **Manufacturer** Ford Motor Company **Components** SEAT BELTS **Potential Number of Units Affected** 77,574 *Editor’s note: This information was copied directly from the NHTSA website.
