Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs Recalled to Fix Seat Belt Issue

The recalled vehicles might have seat belts that were not properly anchored. In documents provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the automaker says the problem may be due to an assembly issue at the factory where the seats were assembled. Drivers may notice a rattling or squeaking noise in the cabin of the vehicle if bolts within the seat belt assembly are loose.

Ford and Lincoln dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace impacted components. As with all recall repairs, the fix will be free of charge.
