680K+ Cars Involved In Latest Ford Recall

Ford is recalling more than 680,000 cars in two recalls to fix problems with seat belt pretensioners and faulty seatback welds. About 680,872 of the cars are the 2013-16 Ford Fusion, 2013-15 Lincoln MKZ and 2016 Ford Mondeo that have front driver and passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner cables that can break in a crash. Pretensioners help to protect an occupant by quickly and forcefully pulling the occupant into the seat during a crash. The automaker says it knows of two accidents and two injuries associated with breaking cables, a problem Ford blames on increased temperatures that occur when the pretensioners deploy.
