A Seat Belt Issue That Could Put Front Occupants In Harm’s Way

Cars, trucks, and SUVs are just like any other product on the market. By the time that they hit the marketplace, the vehicles are supposed to be safe for consumers to use. Of course, anyone in the United States knows that is not always the case. People have heard at least a little something about recalls associated with everything from airbags to seat belts, and more, over the years. Unfortunately, the stories don't usually come with happy, heart-felt endings.

 Rather, the incidents often lead to crashes and injuries. Auto collisions are anything but forgiving. They are not fun, and nobody wants to be involved in them. However, sometimes, things happen, and the event is inevitable. Maybe an operator was speeding, not paying enough attention, or driving while intoxicated. Regardless of the reason the wreck, if the wounds that a person sustained were caused by a faulty part, the manufacturer should be held accountable for the damages. Manufacturer's liability is a legal doctrine that holds manufacturers and sellers accountable for the harm caused by defective products sold on the marketplace. In other words, if an individual obtains broken or fractured bones, internal organ damage, a traumatic brain injury, or something else, they may be able to sue the organization for compensation. However, going up against these big wigs is not typically an easy task.

Now, Onto The Information That Readers Came Here For



Ford Motor Company is expected to begin recall number 19S25 on September 9, 2019. It is an expansion of the previous recall 16V-875. Certain 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles are involved, and plenty of them at that. There are 103,374 affected units, which means they can likely be found a little bit of everywhere, including right here in Florida. Ford is supposed to notify owners of the problem directly, but persons that want more information can contact their customer service department at 1-866-436-7332. If a crash happens, the seat belt pre-tensioner will deploy. However, the heat from the deployment can lead to the front seat belt anchor cable failing. As such, the risk of front-seat passengers sustaining injuries increases. Persons might be left feeling as if they were riding a bull in the rodeo. There are still airbags and other safety features that may prevent the riders from going through the windshield or hitting the dash and steering wheel. 

 Back/neck injuries, cuts, scrapes, and more are possible because of this recall. So, if a Florida resident gets thrown into harm's way, he or she should feel free to give us a call to discuss their legal options. Please, don't hesitate as we are more than happy to help.
