WASHINGTON car manufacturer Ford is recalling two million F-150 pickup trucks across North America over concern their seatbelt pretensioner devices pose a fire hazard. The recall, set to cost $140m, covers Ford F-150 Regular Cab and SuperCrew Cab vehicles built since 2015. It follows the launch of a probe in August after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received five complaints about fires in the seatbelt component.
