## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2026\-2027 Transit vehicles. The wireless seat belt reminder system \(SBR\) within the rear seat belt buckles may malfunction and fail to show a change in buckle status.


## What can happen

A faulty seat belt status indicator may fail to alert occupants to an unfastened seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the rear seat belts and replace the wireless seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed October 12, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S67. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 10, 2026.
