The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. In the event of a crash, heat from the deployment of a seat belt pretensioner may cause a front seat belt anchor cable to fail.
The risk
A failed seat belt anchor cable cannot properly restrain the front seat occupants, increasing their risk of injury.
