F150 Safety Recall

News Item:
“Ford recalls 2 million F-150 pickups over seat belt fire concerns.”

The recall covers many from 2016-2018.

“An investigation by Ford found that some front seat belt pretensioners, devices that tighten the belt in the event of a crash, can generate excessive sparks when they deploy. Much like an airbag, the pretensioners are activated by a small explosion. The automaker said the fires started in the B-pillars – the vertical roof support located between the front and rear doors.”
