The recall impacts Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles from model years 2018 to 2020.

The auto safety regulator said that seat belt pretensioners for drivers and/or front passengers may inadvertently lock, which would not allow it to retract or extend.

Dealers will inspect the seat belt retractor date codes and replace impacted parts for free.
