The Problem: If a seat, seatback or seat-belt anchor attaching bolt fractures, the structural integrity of the seat or the seat belt system's performance may be compromised in a sudden stop or crash, increasing the risk of an injury. Ford said in a statement that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the affected seat, seatback, seat-belt or seat-belt buckle attaching bolts for free.
What Owners Should Do: Ford, which also manufactures Lincoln vehicles, did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
