A corroded cable can break, preventing the seat belt from properly restraining an occupant, and increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open), 492 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.

Two 2016 FORD MUSTANGs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
