SEAT BELTS
- The defect
- Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ford World Trans E-series vehicles. The seat belt may not be properly secured to the side wall. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- If the seat belt is not properly secured in the event of a crash, the occupant will not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Eldorado National-Kansas will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the occupant restraint upper securement L-track and repair it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 12, 2020. Owners may contact Eldorado National-Kansas customer service at 1-800-955-4236.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 667 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Eldorado vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 2 times before this, most recently in October 2017 as 17V685000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Eldorado National-Kansas with NHTSA on March 16, 2020 as campaign 20V147000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
