Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Transit and 2021 Transit Connect vehicles.

Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat belt assembly, and replace the assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 13, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 21C18.
