What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016 F-150 and Explorer vehicles. Loose power seat adjuster pivot bolts may cause the front seat cushions to detach and not properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash.
Why it is dangerous
In the event of a crash, a seat occupant that is not properly restrained has an increased risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tightness of the power seat track upper pivot link bolt, either applying threadlocker or replacing the lift link and hardware, free of charge. Interim letters are expected to go out January 15, 2018. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17S40.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 17V-767 when calling a dealer.
