SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:RETRACTOR

The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Corsair and Escape vehicles. The seat belt retractors for the left and right rear passenger seats may not be securely fastened.
What it can cause
An improperly secured seat belt retractor may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will inspect and secure, or replace the seat belt retractor bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 26, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C68. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 15, 2025.

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 .

How this campaign compares

At 780 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Ford vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 44 times before this, most recently in September 2025 as 25V614000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 28 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V301000 (power train), 26V122000 (engine and engine cooling), 25V829000 (structure), 25V828000 (engine).

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.
