## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2021\-2023 Bronco vehicles built with the 5\-Door body style.  The first\-row seat belt latch plates may be difficult to access from their stowed position.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

Difficulty accessing the seat belt latches may result in occupants not wearing their seat belts, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will add a sliding clip latch stop to the driver and front passenger seat belts, free of charge.  Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed July 14, 2023.  Owner letters informing owners that parts are available were mailed on October 2, 2023.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 23C16.


## 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.
