The primary use of seat belts is to save lives, but as it concerns the 2015-2018 Model of the Ford F-150, the instant fire outbreaks that follow a crash are attributed to the device that earned the confidence of almost everyone. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is looking into reports about the pretensioner system of Ford's best-selling pickup truck being the primary cause of five fire outbreaks in which three totally consumed the vehicles.
Based on this statement, accessible online information at NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation, fingers point to the seat belt pretensioner, which is jointly manufactured, by ZF TRW and Takata. Takata is presently retrieving a large number of defective airbags, which has caused many casualties in which more than 20 are fatal.
This safety belt examination encompasses Ford F-150s produced from 2015 to date. According to reports from an accident, the pretensioner is activated and a fire instantly ignites in the B pillar, where the safety system is found.
A seat belt pre-tensioners primary work is to aid in trapping a safety belt amid a crash, to hold the passenger firmly in the seat and provide more security and less mobility during the accident.

Ford sold about 900,000 units of the F-150 a year ago. Any potential retrieval, if issued by the NHTSA, may affect Millions of trucks.
