REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 S7.1.1.5 Occupant Crash Protection. The front passenger seatbelt retractor assembly has an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that may disengage early after the seatbelt is fully pulled out of the retractor, possibly preventing a child seat from being properly secured.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the part number, date code, test ALR function five times and replace seatbelt assembly if required. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Parts-available owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of December 27, 2021. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

Certain 2021 and 2022 model year Ford Transit and 2021 Ford Transit Connect Vehicles
Passenger Seat Belt Automatic Locking Retractor Function
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination:
On June 10, 2021, Autoliv informed Ford of a concern on certain seat belt assemblies with ALRs that may not function correctly.
Autoliv’s investigation determined that certain seat belt assemblies manufactured by Autoliv between October 26, 2020, and January 27, 2021, have an ALR that may deactivate early. An Autoliv sub-supplier (ITW Automotive) supplied subcomponents that were dimensionally out of tolerance, which may prevent the ALR from functioning as intended. Autoliv determined that these seat belt assemblies do not comply with FMVSS 208 S7.1.1.5, which requires each designated seating position, except the driver’s position, to have “a seat belt assembly whose lap belt portion is lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure a child restraint system.”
Autoliv communicated to Ford that they planned on submitting a Part 573 to the NHTSA for a technical non-compliance based upon information above.
On June 15, 2021, Ford’s Critical Concerns Review Group opened an investigation based upon information received from Autoliv.
June-July 2021 – Ford investigated the scope of vehicles that may have been produced with suspect seat belt assemblies. It was determined that 2021 Transit Connect vehicles built between November 27, 2020-March 15, 2021, and 2021/2022 Transit vehicles built between January 12, 2021-July 12, 2021, may contain the suspect assemblies. Suspect seat belt assemblies at Ford assembly plants that were not yet assembled in vehicles were quarantined and scrapped. Vehicles with suspect assemblies at Ford Assembly plants were put on hold and retrofitted with non-suspect assemblies. After thorough analysis of part lot traceability and plant records, it was determined that a population of vehicles were shipped with the suspect assemblies.
Ford assessed the potential performance effect of the suspect seat belt assemblies in affected Ford vehicles.
On July 26, 2021, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. New! OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Parts-available owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of December 27, 2021. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. PLEASE NOTE: Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

PARTS RETENTION, RETURN, & SCRAPPING Follow the provisions of the Warranty and Policy Manual, Section 1 – WARRANTY PARTS RETENTION AND RETURN POLICIES. If a replaced part receives a scrap disposition, the part must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. EXCESS STOCK RETURN Excess stock returned for credit must have been purchased from Ford Customer Service Division in accordance with Policy Procedure Bulletin 4000. REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF Effective March 1st 2021 all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of March 1st 2021 or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your dealers fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing this task consistently and accurately. All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies. Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed. If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts were inspected and validated to have been replaced. After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.). This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement, found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair Process. Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair approval by the designated employee.
