Ford F-150 Recall 17V599: Passenger Seat Belt May Not Hold in a Crash

NHTSA campaign 17V599, reported September 25, 2017, 504 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2017 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks with manually adjusted front passenger seats may have a seat belt anchor that is not adequately welded to the seat cushion frame. This means the seat does not meet federal safety standards for seat belt anchorages and seating systems.

If the weld fails in a crash, the seat belt buckle could come loose, leaving the passenger unrestrained and at higher risk of injury.

Owners will be notified by Ford. Dealers will replace the front passenger manual seat track at no cost. The recall is expected to begin November 6, 2017. You can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall number 17C17), and you can check your VIN for open recalls on your vehicle.
