Ford Recall : Interior Systems:Active Restraints:Belt Buckles
1990 Ford Taurus
An insufficiently latched or unlatched safety beltincreases the risk of injury to seat occupants in the event of a sudden stop oraccident. If the safety belt buckle will not unlatch, it will not allow theoccupant to get out of the vehicle in an emergency situation.
Seat Belts — Front — Buckle Assembly
- Summary
- The rigid mounted safety belt buckles are defective in three ways. First, a fastened safety belt buckle will not unlatch when the release button is depressed. This results from interference between the buckle ejector finger and the buckle tongue window. The second defect is the safety belt buckle may not latch. The third possible defect is that the tongue may be retained by the buckle, but it may not be latched sufficiently to provide occupant protection.
- Actions
- Ford will replace the rigid mounted safety belt buckles with end release safety belt buckles designed to prevent latch problems.
