The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determined that the location where the belts are stowed when not in use is not in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard's "latch plate access" regulations.
The recall does not affect two-door versions of the Bronco.
Ford will install a clip to hold the seat belt latch plate in a correct position, which will allow the belt to be stowed in a compliant location.
No accidents or injuries related to the issue have been reported.
