Rear belt monitor fault

[hj630]

I see a few thread about this fault alert on the dash. Someone mentioned dealer replaced the driver buckle and fixed it. Mine is out of warranty this Feb so I wonder if anyone has tried to fix this themselves? I was hoping its just a lose connection. My airbag is still on.
Thanks

There is a recall for drivers buckle.
If it applies to yours, warranty doesn't matter.

Thank you. I just called the dealer. They told me they will charge a $280 diagnostic fee if it turns out not covered under this recall. I have a feeling they will say it’s not. Is it universal at all dealer? Mine says rear belt fault and I feel like they will just say it only covers drivers side…

Pull the diagnostic code. Might save you some money if you can pinpoint the exact issue/procedure to fix it.

If you use Fordpass app - even if not remote connected to vehicle but have your VIN entered - you can easily find out if you have the recall.

As well as on Ford's site.

My recall letter covers for 250k but ONLY for driver side front belt buckle sensor and only for ONE time replacement. No mention of rear belts.

I went to the dealer I bought the truck from. They did it for free. The screen says rear belt fault but it’s actually the driver buckle
