Ford F-150: Seats and Restraints

Affects Ford F-150 · 2025 — about 7K vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain hybrid trucks, the seat belt reminder chime may not work when you start the vehicle and your seat belt isn't buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt. Note: This recall only affects certain hybrid trucks equipped with a 3.5 L engine. Safety Risk: A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the audio head unit software.
