## What the record says

- **Product**: FORD MAVERICK (2022) - Recall 21V979000
- **Reason**: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mustang Mach-E and 2022 Maverick vehicles. The rear seat belt buckles may not be properly attached to the rear floor assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." Improperly attached seat belts may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
