NHTSA Complaint #10711834 — 2002 FORD F-350 SD

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE RELEASES UNEXPECTEDLY. WHEN I BEGAN TO RESEARCH HOW TO REPLACE THIS COMPONENT, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS AN NHTSA RECALL#01V227001, FORD RECALL# 01S21 ISSUED FOR THE SAME HAZARD. MY TRUCK WAS ASSEMBLED IN 2001 AT THE KENTUCKY PLANT BUT WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD, I AM REPORTING TO YOU SO THAT YOU MAY CONSIDER EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF THIS RECALL. ALSO, WHAT ARE THE IDENTIFYING MARKS TO DETERMINE IF I DO INDEED HAVE THE FAULTY COMPONENTS IN MY VEHICLE? THE BUCKLES ARE TRW 33012760, THE DRIVERS SIDE IS EMBOSSED WITH #343013 AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IS EMBOSSED #321013. *TR
