What is wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Transit Connect vehicles. The front driver and/or passenger seat belt pretensioner initiators could contain an improper generant mix ratio that may prevent the seat belt pretensioners from deploying in the event of a crash.

The risk

In the event of a crash, the front driver and/or passenger seat belt pretensioners may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace seat belt assemblies as necessary, free of charge. This recall began August 7, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-[removed]. Ford's number for this recall is 20S25.
