What happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015 Transit vehicles manufactured between March 1, 2015, and April 10, 2015. The affected vehicles may have seat belt labels that are missing required information and instead say "prototype sample," which means owners may not be able to properly identify the seat belts. These vehicles fail to meet federal safety standards for seat belt assemblies.

Ford has notified the one fleet owner with affected vehicles, and a Ford representative will visit the vehicle locations to install new labels with all required information at no charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Affected owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or reference recall number 15C05.
