What's wrong, in plain English

On some Ford Ranger trucks with a SuperCab body, the front passenger seat belt may not have been assembled correctly at the factory. A seat belt that isn't put together properly may not hold the passenger securely in place. That matters most in a crash, when the seat belt needs to work correctly to keep the occupant restrained and reduce the chance of injury.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Ford dealer (Ford customer service: 1-866-436-7332) to have the seat belt inspected and, if needed, replaced.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V518000.
