SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY

Issued by Ford Motor Company · Reported Nov 14, 2018 · 34,946 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Expedition vehicles. The second row center seat track assemblies may be missing one or both of the J-Channel reinforcement brackets, possibly allowing the seat to move in the event of a crash.

Consequence

In the event of a crash, a seat that moves may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the second row center seat for any missing J-channel reinforcement brackets, replacing the center seat frame assembly as necessary, free of charge. An interim owner notification was sent on December 21, 2018. A second letter will be mailed once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S37
