## What the record says

- **Product**: FORD RANGER (2020) - Recall 21V811000
- **Reason**: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Ford Ranger Super Cab vehicles. The front passenger outboard seat belt may not have been assembled properly, allowing the seat belt to be misrouted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." A misrouted seat belt may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
