On Friday, Ford issued a recall of nearly half a million vehicles in the U.S., citing an issue that may cause carpeting to catch fire.

, Ford announced that the vehicles were built at the Kentucky Truck Plant between October 8, 2015 and October 29, 2019. Ford's reference number for this recall is 19S52.

"In affected vehicles, a front seat belt pretensioner that deploys during a crash can generate excessive sparks," Ford said in its statement."In some cases, this could ignite the carpet or carpet insulation in the area of the B-pillar." Ford also gave details of modifications that would be made for vehicles that are affected by the recall."As needed, dealers will apply foil tape to the carpet and carpet insulation and modify the sound deadener on the back side of the B-pillar trim panel," the recall stated.
