  Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Edge vehicles. The driver-side seat belt pretensioner anchor may have been improperly crimped, possibly resulting in the seat belt webbing detaching from the anchor in the event of a crash.

  Risk: In the event of a crash, seat belt webbing that detaches from the anchor will not properly restrain the driver, increasing their risk of injury.

  Remedy: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver's side pretensioner assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 12, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S37.

   My drivers side seat belt is getting stuck while pulling it out. It clicks and becomes stuck and I can’t put it on. When I do finally get it on I became stuck on 3 separate occasions and couldn’t physically get it off without help. I haven’t brought it to be inspected because my vin is not listed in the recall of driver side seatbelt. No lamps or messages prior.

   The front passenger seatbelt will not adjust and is stuck. It worked when last used. I parked and when we got in to go, it wouldn’t work . It was not due to any misuse and is a safety issue as the passenger has to plug it in so the seatbelt notice will go off. I don’t know why it is not able to be adjusted.

This appears to be identical to a recall I just became aware of in Ford Recall 26S34 (NHTSA Campaign 26V344), however our 2019…
