The 1990 Ford Festiva has 2 recalls, the more serious being front seatbelt buckles with plastic release buttons that can crack and break, sending fragments into the buckle mechanism and preventing the belt from latching or releasing properly in a crash.
The second recall involves the seatbelt reminder light, which can fail to illuminate when the ignition is turned on in cold weather, leaving occupants without a reminder to buckle up.
