1 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2026

Manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner. The recall was from September 16, 2025. It has now been over half a year with no remedy. I live in a salty air state and the last thing I want to happen is to drive with a seat belt with reduced effectiveness. I've already been in an accident a decade ago where a woman t-boned me. I had a 2001 Mustang convertible at the time with the convertible down. It's just like this Mustang with the recall but older. Thankfully the airbags and seat belt worked. Something needs to be done ASAP !!!!.
