Summary
Ford said owners of nearly 420,000 2018-2022 Expedition and Lincoln vehicles will be notified by mail starting June 8 about a seat-belt recall tied to one reported injury.
NHTSA said the retractors can inadvertently lock, preventing the belts from extending or retracting and raising injury risk in a crash; dealers will inspect vehicles and replace retractors free.
Ford separately told 4,653 owners of certain 2021-2026 Bronco Sport and 2022-2026 Maverick vehicles not to drive them because improperly installed front lower control arm ball joints could disconnect.
Dealers will inspect and repair the suspension defect at no cost under recall 26S36, while the larger seat-belt action is listed as recall 26S34.
