Ford F-150 Truck Recall Due To Seat Belt Fire Risk
Its been a rough week in the auto industry as millions of vehicles are being recalled for various issues. Toyota earlier this week recalled their Prius and C-HR hybrids due to a fire risk and now Ford is recalling millions of its massively popular F-150 pickup trucks.
According to NBC News, the automaker is recalling nearly 2 million F-150 regular cab and SuperCrew cab models made in model years 2015 through 2018 due to a seat belt problem that could result in smoke, and possibly even a fire, inside the vehicle.
The driver and front passenger seat-belt pretensioners, which are designed to cinch your seat belt tight when a crash is detected, uses a small pyrotechnic charge that could spark a fire in an accident.
