Ford F-650 SD Recall 15V533: Passenger seat belt anchors may be misplaced, raising crash injury risk

NHTSA campaign 15V533, reported August 20, 2015, 25,941 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

On certain Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks built between February 2011 and April 2015 that have a 70% fixed bench passenger seat, the seat belt anchorage floor attachments for the passenger seat were not installed in the correct location. As a result, the vehicle does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210 for seat belt assembly anchorages.

Misplaced seat belt anchors may increase the risk of occupant injury in a crash, because the belt may not restrain the passenger as intended.

Ford will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will correct the seat belt anchorage locations at no charge. The recall began November 12, 2015. To check whether your truck is included, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall 15C09, or check your VIN for open recalls.
