DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Ford Motor Company announced a recall Friday of over 680,000 Ford Fusion, Ford Mondeo and Lincoln MKZ models to repair a seat belt defect.
A statement said faulty seat belt anchor pretensioners can overheat and cause a cable to snap during deployment in a crash. The parts will be insulated to reduce temperatures generated when the pretensioners are activated. At least two accidents and two injuries are attributed to the defect.
