Posted on: 2015-10-26
Description
Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2016 ford mustang vehicles manufactured september 26, 2015, to october 1, 2015. The front and rear seat belts and child seat tether anchors may have been damaged in shipping from the supplier to the vehicle assembly plant and may not adequately restrain the occupant in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard numbers 208, occupant crash protection, and 225, child restraint anchorage systems.
Consequence
If the restraint components do not function as intended, the occupants may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Corrective Action
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front and rear seat belt assemblies and the child seat tether anchors, free of charge. The recall began on december 18, 2015. Owners may contact ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15c13.
