During a 2000 mile road trip, the front passenger seatbelt was nearly cut through at the point where the seatbelt exits the tensioner above the passenger's right shoulder. The location of the cut along the length of the webbing aligns with the position of the webbing when the seatbelt was in use by the front passenger. Based upon the location and nature of the cut, it appears that some surface within the assembly was sharp enough to cut through the section of belt. There were no injuries associated with this incident. The vehicle was parked as soon as we reached our destination and no passengers are allowed to sit in the front right passenger seat until the issue is corrected.

When we reached our destination in Pierceland, SK, I ordered the replacement tensioner from / through the nearest Ford dealership (Cold Lake, AB). I have an appointment to have seatbelt assembly replaced tomorrow (27 DEC 2022) at that dealership. The seat belt tensioner assembly
