What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ford Edge vehicles have a driver's seat belt problem. The seat belt includes a part that tightens it during a crash. This part may not work correctly when a crash happens, so the seat belt may not hold the driver in place as intended. This does not meet federal seat belt safety standards.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Ford dealer or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The repair is free.

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