On the 2025-2026 Lincoln Corsair, on 2025-2026 Corsairs built Nov 25 2024 - Nov 3 2025, the bolts securing the left and right rear-passenger seat belt retractors may not have been torqued during assembly. Owners may hear a rattle from the rear pillar area or find a belt that binds or won't retract. In a crash an unsecured retractor may not restrain the occupant.

Common Symptoms

  • Rattle from rear C-pillar / cargo area
  • Rear seat belt won't extend or retract
  • Belt binds when buckling
  • Loose-feeling retractor

How to Fix

Free dealer inspection and re-torque (or retractor replacement) under recall 25C68. Until repaired, avoid placing children in the affected outboard rear seats — Ford's own recall notice specifically warns parents. Contact Ford 1-866-436-7332.
