This makes it impossible for the driver to put on a seat belt until the car cools a significant amount usually requiring a 20 to 30 minute drive with the A/C on high.  This appears to be identical to a recall I just became aware of in Ford Recall 26S34 (NHTSA Campaign 26V344), however our 2019 Ford Edge is not included in the recal campaign.  This is a repeatable malfunction which occurred many times over the course of the summer of 2025.  The local Ford dealership was not helpful and, at that time,  indicated replacement retractor mechanisms were unavailable when I reported the issue to them.  I performed an inspection of the unit and reported the issue to the local Ford dealership.  I am a retired Accident Investigation Officer from the Illinois State Police and hold a degree in Aerospace Engineering so I am comfortable in reporting this as a product defect.  The vehicle does not indicate there is a problem through any type of error light or message.  The only way to know it has occurred is to attempt to put on the seat belt and hope it is usable.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EDGE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
