What's wrong, in plain English

On some Ford Edge vehicles, the driver's seat belt pretensioner anchor may not have been crimped correctly during assembly. Crimping is the process that secures the anchor in place. Because of this, the seat belt webbing that connects to the anchor could come loose from it. This means the anchor and the webbing may not stay properly attached to each other on the driver's side seat belt system in these vehicles.

What you should do

1. Check your vehicle's recall status by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Contact a Ford dealer for an inspection; call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. 3. If needed, the pretensioner assembly will be replaced, free of charge.
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 19V766000.
