My Badlands Bronco showed up to the dealer today and when I went in to have a look and try to take it home I was told that Ford issued a stop sale and they don’t know when they will be able to let me have it.

Does anybody have any info on the status, why it’s on a stop sale, or when the issue will be cleared up?

Same thing happened to me a week ago Friday , Dealer got the parts and got it fixed . (Seat belt clips) I was able to pick mine up this Friday , so hopefully it won't be too long for you.

Check your VIN here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/

If the clips were already installed, your VIN should show no recalls.
If they weren’t installed, tell your dealership to get the parts now.

I can't believe this stops the delivery of a truck. The belts work. How far up does your seat have to be for this to be an issue? Push the seat back, problem solved.

Exactly or don't wear the f'n seatbelt at all.

I will not get this recall completed

Huge bummer for those excited about the bronco. I can't believe that they are stopping deliveries for this kind of recall. I grabbed my badlands in Feb and received a letter in the mail a week ago about this seatbelt recall. Saying that at a future date, once ford figures out parts and distribution, I'll have to take it in. It's such a minor issue to stop sales (in my opinion). Basically...the recall statement goes like this..."in certain seat positions the driver and passenger seat belt is difficult to reach". Which I have never had a problem with since ownership.

Most likely because Americans and are sue happy. Somebody doesn't put on their belt because it was "hard to reach," breaks their back in a crash, and the money hungry lawyers are knocking down their door saying it's Ford's fault. I don't blame them, I would make sure it goes out correctly as well.

Super cheap, color matching and they have the fridge, I mean B pillar magnet built in.

We got our Badlands end of January and got the letter this week, like you my wife and I haven't had any issues with the seatbelts, my only issue is not having memory seats because the wife puts the seat Way up lol

That gives me some hope, my dealership was real non committal on any timelines.

do you have pictures of the clips? I haven’t been able to find any.

What does the fix look like? Do they screw something into a trim panel?

I might skip this one.

Just a little clip that goes onto the seat belt.

I'm surprised that the 2 door is not included. My belt gets stuck all the time too. You just reach toward the top and pull it out.

Geez, I’m envious now of my friend that lives in New Hampshire, as they don’t require seatbelts
