Ford recall for seat belt issue and a do-not-drive order for some Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles

Ford is recalling almost 420,000 vehicles because of a seat belt issue that may result in an injury if a crash occurs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report Tuesday that the recall includes certain Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with model years 2018 through 2022. The issue involves seat belts that may lock inadvertently, not allowing them to retract or extend. The NHTSA report says a seat belt that doesn't retract or extend may result in an injury if a crash happens. Individuals may also face injury in some instances if the seat belt retracts rapidly. The recall replaces and expands on two previous NHTSA recalls. The report states that Ford Motor Co. is aware of two warranty claims and two field reports related to the latest recall. The company is also aware of one injury.
