Restraint Indicator Lamp Warning message via Ford Pass app

[Pop2020]

Well, I guess you could say I don't use the app much, but last night I noticed that in the Ford Pass app that there was the following message: "restraint indicator lamp warning - the restraint control module has detected a fault with the second row driver side seat belt sensor" (Mar2023)

Anybody else gotten this message?

I'll add it to the maintenance list when I get the 23S27 recall done and the customer satisfaction program 22B39 done at some point in the spring.

Yep I've had this. It actually end up being the drivers seat belt buckle that had a faulty sensor. Between trying to get an appointment with the service center and waiting for parts, it took me several months to have fixed. My dealer said its a common occurrence with Escapes too and that even though it says second row, it frequently ends up being the drivers seat belt buckle.

Was this covered under any type of warranty? Local For dealer trying to charge me 165$ just to look into it. No way am i paying for that.

That should be a warranty issue

Right now I've got this issue, three recalls and a customer satisfaction program to get done whenever I get my truck scheduled for service.

Side note: is there any benefit to having warranty work done at the dealer where the truck was purchased over another one (such as one half the distance from home and much more conveient for drop-off and delivery)?
