## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Transit vehicles manufactured February 13, 2014, to January 13, 2016 and equipped with rear passenger seats.  The rear seat belt buckles may be damaged if a heavy object is placed on, or impacts, the top of the buckle.  The damage may prevent the buckle from latching or from remaining latched.


## What can happen

An unlatched seat belt increases the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will modify or replace the seat belt buckles, depending on their location in the vehicle, free of charge.  The recall began May 18, 2016.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S06.


## Notes

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.safercar.gov.
