Defect investigations

Seat Belt Retractor Pretensioner Inadvertent DeploymentOpened November 15, 2024, closed July 23, 2025

On November 22, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE) PE23021 to investigate complaints of front seat belt retractor pretensioner inadvertent deployment in model year (MY) 2019 Ford Expedition vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Company. Some complaints alleged hearing a loud, explosion-like sound immediately followed by the seat belt tightening around the occupant’s torso area. The complaints did not state that a crash occurred that may have resulted in the deployment of the pretensioner system, suggesting that this deployment was inadvertent or otherwise unwarranted. On February 9, 2024, Ford issued safety recall 24V‑099, recalling certain MY 2018-2020 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with driver and front passenger seat belt retractor pretensioners built between October 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019. Ford described the defect as a seat belt retractor pretensioner assembly that may develop corroded squib pins, resulting in high resistance or an open circuit, which could result in an inadvertent deployment of a pretensioner and an increased risk of injury due to the loss of the pretensioner’s protection and a seat belt that remains in the locked position. This recall includes 77,574 vehicles. On November 15, 2024, ODI opened this Recall Query (RQ24015) after receiving 3 complaints involving vehicles not included in recall 23V‑099 but that alleged a similar failure. As a result of this investigation, Ford issued safety recall 25V‑197 on March 28, 2025, to expand the scope of 24V‑099 to include MY 2018-2020 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with driver and front passenger seat belt retractor pretensioners built between October 1, 2018, and July 31, 2020. This recall includes 105,322 vehicles, some of which are also included in 24V‑099. Additionally, on May 23, 2025, Ford issued 25V‑197 Amendment #1, which further expands the recall population’s scope for vehicles with build dates of September 2018. This amendment added 7,627 additional vehicles to the 25V‑197 population. In response to ODI’s inquiries in RQ24015, Ford indicated that it cannot conclusively determine the root cause of the relevant failure. Ford was able to determine that certain pretensioners may develop corroded squib pins potentially resulting in inadvertent deployment, but it was unable to specify the cause of corrosion. Without a specific root cause, Ford assessed field performance of pretensioners to determine the scope of the recalls. ODI is aware of three vehicles that experienced pretensioner inadvertent deployment that are not included in either 25V‑197 or 24V‑099. Two of these vehicles are MY 2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles built prior to October 1, 2018, and both experienced failures after more than six years of use/exposure while the recalled vehicles experienced higher rate of failures with less exposure. The remaining incident involves a MY 2021 Ford Expedition that was built after July 31, 2020. ODI is not aware of any other relevant failures in vehicles built after July 31, 2020. As such, ODI has not currently identified a safety defect trend for this issue in vehicles outside of the recalled populations. ODI will continue to monitor allegations of pretensioner inadvertent deployment in subject vehicles that are not included in 25V‑197. In view of the safety recall action being taken by Ford, ODI is closing this Recall Query (RQ24015). The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

RQ24015

Seat Belt Pretensioner Inadvertent DeploymentOpened November 22, 2023, closed July 29, 2024

On November 22, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE23-021 to investigate instances of seat belt pretensioner inadvertent deployment in model year (MY) 2019 Ford Expedition vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Company. Some complaints allege hearing a loud, explosion-like sound immediately followed by the seatbelt tightening around the occupant’s torso area. The complaints do not allege a crash occurred that may have resulted in the deployment of the pretensioner system. The investigation revealed certain seatbelt pretensioners may develop corroded squib pins where the bridge wire (heating element of pyro-technic device) is welded. Extended corrosion and a partial separation of the weld may cause a high resistance or an open circuit condition to occur, potentially resulting in pretensioner inadvertent deployment. Inadvertent pretensioner deployment will result in the seatbelt being locked in position, no longer able to extend or retract as designed, which may result in injury in the event of a crash. 11 minor injuries were reported due this failure. Most injuries were bruising to the torso area caused by the rapid tightening of the seatbelt during an inadvertent deployment. On February 9, 2024, Ford filed recall 24V099 for certain MY 2018-2020 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with production dates between October 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019. The recall remedy provides the replacement of both front seatbelt retractors if found to have a production date code within the suspect production date range. In view of the recall action being taken by Ford, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

The contact's wife owns a 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that after refueling and restarting the vehicle, his wife was driving away from the gas pump at 5 MPH when the vehicle experienced a sensation resembling a rear-end collision. The front driver side seat belt retracted and failed to unbuckle immediately as intended, unlatching only after multiple attempts. The driver sustained a shoulder laceration and body soreness, requiring a telehealth medical consultation. Following the failure, the seat belt became inoperable. One day prior to the failure, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V344000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to complete the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was contacted and associated the failure with the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,539.

My 2019 Ford Expedition is affected by Ford safety recall 25S31, which is related to the front seat belt retractor/pretensioner. The front passenger seat belt is currently stuck and cannot be used, making the front passenger seat unsafe and unusable. I contacted Ford and a Ford dealership regarding this safety recall and the defective seat belt. I was informed that the recall repair could not be completed because the necessary remedy/parts were not available. I have also contacted Ford seeking assistance because I cannot safely transport a passenger in the front passenger seat. This is a serious safety concern because the passenger seat cannot be safely occupied without a functioning seat belt. The vehicle and defective seat belt are available for inspection. I am filing this complaint because I need the safety recall repaired as soon as possible, and I am concerned about the continued delay in obtaining the necessary recall repair or replacement parts.

On October 22, 2026, the front passenger seatbelt pretensioner in our Ford Expedition unexpectedly deployed while the vehicle was running. There was no collision or accident. The deployment caused the seatbelt to rapidly retract and resulted in an injury to my wife. She experienced significant shoulder/collarbone pain. We sought medical attention, and she underwent X-rays and a CT scan. Although the initial diagnosis was a sprain rather than a fracture, she continues to experience pain. Ford issued safety recall 26S34 / the federal safety agency 26V344 on May 27, 2026, specifically identifying inadvertent deployment of the driver or front passenger seatbelt retractor pretensioners. The recall notice stated that a remedy was not yet available.

While driving down the road on August 16, 2026, our front seat belt exploded and the tightened down on my daughter. There was a poof of smoke, smell of an explosive, and my daughter complained of pressure on her abdomen and shoulder. It was frightening! Equally as frightening has been the experience dealing with Ford. We have been without our FAMILY vehicle for 73 days! Multiple calls to Ford with no follow through. At first a local dealership gave us a loaner, but in time they have now added ridiculous mileage limit restrictions and the inability for us to leave the state. (We are near neighboring states where family lives.) Last communication was parts would be shipped end of September. It’s now the end of October and no update has been communicated. Considering this recall has been ongoing since February 2024 I’m having little hope this will be taken care of soon. In the meantime those of us with actual explosions and inoperable seatbelts are being given the same treatment & accommodations of those that are driving with working (ticking time bomb) seatbelts. When I first took it in the dealership claimed they had never heard of one actually exploding. I now know they have a second one sitting inoperable as well. Ford owners need help putting the pressure on Ford! Our calls, our inconvenience, our safety is NOT being handled.

UNKNOWN We have a 2019 Ford Expedition that received a recall for the front passenger seatbelt. Recall number is 26S34/26V344. We received a letter informing us of this May 2026. We were told that parts would be available by September 30,2026. The dealership here confirmed that but said they couldn't fix it until I received a second letter saying I can get it fixed and take it to the dealership. It is now October 27, 2026. No letter. We cannot have all our family ride in the vehicle at one time because the seatbelt is inoperable frozen in place. This means it's unsafe. We need our car to be fully functional and safe. Ford needs to get the parts available. A repair shop told us they can get the part today. I believe Ford is delaying the letter for the fix because of cost to them. Please intervene for all of us who share this problem

At neighborhood speeds the transmission shifts roughly around 4th gear, making clunking noises and lurching the vehicle. This happens on a daily basis. At interstate speeds, the transmission has popped out of gear when attempting to pass another vehicle, leaving the vehicle decelerating dangerously in a situation where acceleration is needed. This has happened twice in the last year and requires navigating out of traffic to allow the transmission to figure out what is going on and re-engage the proper gear. I have been lucky not to have been in a serious accident. It has not been inspected by a dealer but, when mentioned to a dealer, was told that is just what you get with that 10-speed transmission. In both instances there was some type of warning displayed on the console but I was too busy trying to survive to notice what the message said.

Since early in purchasing our 2019 Ford Expedition, we were getting powertrain warnings (pictures attached from August 2019). We took the vehicle in to have it diagnosed but the dealer said there were no codes and nothing they could do to troubleshoot. Fast forward to after the warranty expires the car starts behaving erratically when it's changing gears, especially when downshifting. On more than one occasion when towing our boat, I would press on the gas to pass a semi truck and there would be a loud CLUNK that you could feel and then the motor would simply rev indefinitely as if the transmission had switched to neutral. It's very dangerous losing power on a freeway with traffic including semi trucks and towing a boat. It got to the point where it would be very jerky just driving, particularly (it seemed to me) when the car had been sitting. This has happened several times. I did some research and found there were 4 TSB's for this issue and is an issue for all of the Ford 10 speed transmissions for Expedition, F150 and even the Mustang. I reached out to the dealer with these TSB's and they diagnosed that our car did have this troubled transmission and we did have the faulty parts. The dealer has charged us $7,575.35 to 'Repair" this. I think this warrants a recall due to the faulty parts in the transmission. It's very dangerous losing power and torque in a vehicle particularly when towing. Please review the attached pictures (notice the milage from our initial indications there was trouble with the powertrain). This got progressively worse just prior to us taking the car to the dealer. I would say it was at it's worst from December 2024 through our repair at the delaer in June 2026, but there were other random occurences prior to that and of course the very begining as seen in the attached photos.

My 2019 Ford Expedition is subject to Ford Safety Recall 26S34 (the federal safety agency Recall 26V344), involving inadvertent deployment of seat-belt retractor pretensioners. The driver's-side seat-belt pretensioner has deployed, causing the seat belt to retract and lock in a position where it physically cannot extend far enough to fit around the driver. As a result, the driver's seat belt is completely unusable, and the vehicle cannot be safely operated. Ford previously issued an advance recall notice indicating that a remedy was anticipated by September 30, 2026. As of October 24, 2026, I have not been provided with an available remedy. I have contacted Ford Customer Service multiple times and spoken with representatives regarding this issue. Ford has informed me that because the recall remains classified as an Advance Notice, its current policy does not authorize rental vehicle assistance. The dealership has also indicated that it cannot provide a rental without authorization from Ford. I have explained repeatedly that this is not simply a vehicle awaiting a recall repair. The recalled safety component has already failed, leaving the driver's seat belt unusable. Despite these circumstances, Ford has not provided an authorized no-cost repair plan or alternative transportation assistance. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review this actual failure of a recalled safety component and Ford's response, as the vehicle cannot be safely driven in its current condition.
