## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2019\-2021 Ford Ranger Super Cab vehicles.  The front passenger outboard seat belt may not have been assembled properly, allowing the seat belt to be misrouted.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."


## What can happen

A misrouted seat belt may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Ford will provide owners with instructions to perform a preliminary inspection of their front seat belts.  Owners that detect an issue with the driver's seat belt, are unsure of the results, or do not want to perform an inspection, should not drive their vehicles and contact a Ford dealership.  Dealers will inspect the front row outboard seat belts and replace them, if necessary, free of charge.  Interim owner notification letters were mailed on November 5, 2021.  Owner notification letters were mailed December 22, 2021.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 21C25.


## 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.nhtsa.gov.
