2016 Mustangs, something to do with seatbelts

Ford issues safety compliance recall for certain 2016 Ford Mustang vehicles in North America after restraint parts could have been damaged during shipping

Ford is issuing a safety compliance recall for approximately 1,900 2016 Ford Mustang vehicles in North America after some restraint parts could have been damaged during shipping from the supplier prior to installation in the vehicle. If damaged during shipping, the affected restraint parts might not conform to the requirements of FMVSS 209 for seat belt assembly performance or to FMVSS 225 regarding child restraint anchor systems.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

Affected vehicles include certain 2016 Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Sept. 26, 2015 through Oct. 1, 2015.

There are a total of 1,906 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 1,900 in the United States and federalized territories, one in Canada and five in Mexico.

Dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies and child tethers at no cost to the customer.

I am happy when there is a recall. That means they know there is a problem and will fix it for free. Even out of warranty. Every time I had recall work done on a car I was happy about it. Like airbag parts replacement on my late Honda Pilot that was years out of warranty. Miss that car. Family workhouse. Fast, yes fast, and way better than the new CR-V that replaced it.

Just look at my sticker it says 20151002 so I guess mine is safe.

Not exactly Federal recall when NHTSA involved never expires or Manufacturer recall which they issue it have time limit. Recalls are not the same as TSB's or service campaigns

How does that correlate to 'damaged during shipment'?

Sadly my 16 trunk is not lined up properly. There is another one at the dealer has exact same problem.
