## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2013\-2016 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured November 2, 2012, to July 31, 2014, and 2013\-2015 Lincoln MKZ vehicles manufactured November 14, 2012, to July 31, 2014.  In the event of a crash, heat from the deployment of a seat belt pretensioner may cause a front seat belt anchor cable to fail.


## What can happen

If the driver or front passenger seatbelt cables cannot properly restrain the front seat occupants, they would be at an increased risk of injury.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will apply a protective coating to the seat belt cable, free of charge.  The recall began May 16, 2017.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 16S42.


## 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.
