Preguntas frecuentes
What is the issue tied to this recall?
Certain 2018–2020 Navigator SUVs have experienced inadvertent deployment of the seatbelt retractor pretensioner while the vehicle’s engine is on. Inadvertent deployment of the retractor pretensioner will result in the seatbelt being locked in position and will not retract or extend.
What is the cause of the issue?
Certain seatbelt retractor pretensioners may develop internal corrosion and partial separation of an internal weld leading to high resistance, or an open circuit. If left unresolved, this condition may result in inadvertent retractor pretensioner deployment. Increased humidity inside the cab, caused by water leakage after client air-conditioning usage in the hot temperature areas, may potentially contribute to the development of corrosion.
¿Cuál es la reparación que se espera?
Retailers will inspect both front seatbelt retractors and replace as necessary. Retailers will also inspect for the presence of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) drain tube elbow and install if not present.
Which vehicles are affected?
