## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2015\-2017 F\-150, and 2017 F\-250 and F\-350 trucks equipped with a crew cab.  The left rear inflatable seat belt buckle assembly may be inadequately attached to its mounting bracket.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."


## What can happen

If the left rear inflatable seat belt buckle separates from it's mounting bracket, the seat occupant may not be adequately restrained, increasing their risk of injury.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assembly, replacing the attaching rivet as necessary, free of charge.  Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed October 18, 2017.  Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy becomes available.  Owners may contact Ford Customer Service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 17C12.


## 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.
