Ford has to recall 176,000 Broncos because the government worried people might be “discouraged” by the seatbelts

Ford is doing pretty well driving its brand into the ground with Pride marketing; they really don't need any help along the road of destruction.

But we all know how much the Biden administration likes to kick a company when they're down, so it should come as no surprise that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has made Ford recall a whole ton of vehicles this week: 176,000 '21-‘23 Broncos to be exact.

You might imagine a recall would mean that a customer or two found something dangerously wrong with the vehicles, but there were no customers involved in the recall whatsoever, and for that matter there was no danger involved in the recall either.

The NHTSA thought that people might get "discouraged" using the seat belts.

They said,

The customer may experience some dissatisfaction or be discouraged if they are unable to easily access the seatbelt.

What could be so bad to send the drivers of the nation into such pits of depression?

The NHTSA thought that the reaching the seatbelt latch required too much effort.

Their solution? A barrette clip on the belt.

Ford has to recall all those vehicles to slap on a $2 clip that would take less than a minute for someone to do at home if they wanted to; all because a bureaucrat had to physically exert themselves a bit to reach their seat belt.

I guess if you own a ‘21-‘23 Bronco, you‘d better rush into the dealer and get those clips added to your belts pronto.

Heaven knows you wouldn't want to strain yourself trying to reach it.
