2001 FORD TAURUS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2001 Ford Taurus has 3 recalls, all related to restraint systems: seatbelt buckles can fail to fully release or may only partially latch, leaving an occupant unsecured in a crash, and child safety seat anchors may not hold a child seat in place during a collision. The seatbelt buckle issue affects front seat occupants: when the release button is pressed slowly, the tongue can stick in the buckle or catch only partway, meaning the belt appears fastened but may not be. A separate recall covers the child safety seat anchor points, where loose fasteners connecting the anchors to the floor pan can allow the anchor to give way in a crash, putting a child at risk of moving with or separating from the seat.
