Following the Aug. 7 recall for its 2020 Ford Explorers and Lincoln Aviators for a potentially missing manual park release cover, Ford (F) has issued a recall for the 2015 Fusion and 2015 Lincoln MKZ vehicles because they have a strength issue with the seat belt.

The recall affects the seat belt anchor pretensioners, which during increased temperatures can degrade the tensile strength of the cable. The degraded cable may be below the level needed to properly restrain an occupant of the vehicle, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

A total of 103,374 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories are affected by the recall with another 4,002 vehicles in Canada and 1,023 in Mexico also being recalled.

The affected vehicles include the 2015 Ford Fusion built at the company’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant from Aug. 1, 2014, to Jan. 30, 2015, and built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant from Aug. 1, 2014, to Nov. 24, 2014. Also included in the recall is the 2015 Lincoln MKZ built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant from Aug. 1, 2014, to Nov. 21, 2014.

To repair the seat belt issue, Ford dealers will apply a protective coating to the cable.

Ford has received one report of injury related to the affected seat belt anchor pretensioner issue.

The recall number is 19S25.

Shares of Ford stock were down 0.72 percent as of 9:48 a.m. ET on Thursday.
