Eldorado National-Kansas: Seat Belts
Eldorado National-Kansas reported this defect to federal regulators on Mar 16, 2020 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 667. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ford World Trans E-series vehicles. The seat belt may not be properly secured to the side wall. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
The risk
If the seat belt is not properly secured in the event of a crash, the occupant will not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.
The remedy
Eldorado National-Kansas will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the occupant restraint upper securement L-track and repair it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 12, 2020. Owners may contact Eldorado National-Kansas customer service at 1-800-955-4236.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 20V147000.
