I thought I saw something a month or so ago that in October we were going to get "notices" about something wrong with the seats in our trucks. Was I in a dream state or was this something real and the notices just have not gone out yet?

 

Anything wrong with your seat?

 

Not that I can tell. I thought it was something about holding up in crashes. Maybe I was dreaming.......

 

This might be the one;

Safety recall of select vehicles for potential lack of seat restraint in the event of a crash
Ford is issuing a safety recall for:

1. Certain 2018-20 Ford F-150, 2019-20 Ford F-Series Super Duty, 2018-19 Ford Explorer and 2019-20 Ford Expedition vehicles with a manual driver and/or front passenger seat-back recliner mechanism, and
   
2. Certain 2020 Ford Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator vehicles with rear outboard seats with manual seat-back recliner mechanisms.
   

Affected vehicles may be missing the third pawl required for seatback strength. A seatback with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism may have reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

This action affects 483,325 vehicles in the United States and federal territories, 58,712 in Canada and 8,149 in Mexico.

Affected vehicles include:

• 2018-20 Ford F-150 vehicles built at:
  • Dearborn Assembly Plant from Sept. 14, 2018, to Aug. 7, 2019, and
    
  • Kansas City Assembly Plant from Sept. 11, 2018, through Aug. 2, 2019
    
• 2019-20 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles built at:
  • Kentucky Assembly Plant from Sept. 9, 2018, through July 22, 2019, and
    
  • Ohio Assembly Plant from Sept. 11, 2018, through July 17, 2019
    
• 2018-19 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant from Sept. 9, 2018, through March 3, 2019
  
• 2019-20 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Assembly Plant from Oct. 16, 2018, through July 24, 2019
  
• 2020 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant from Nov. 21, 2018, through Aug. 21, 2019, and
  
• 2020 Lincoln Aviator vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant from April 12, 2019, through July 16, 2019.
  

Dealers will inspect the seat structure of affected vehicles. Most vehicles are expected to pass the inspection and not require repair. If a repair is required, the dealer will replace the seat structure. There will be no charge to the customer for these services.

The Ford reference number for this recall is 19C07.

 

Well, I guess I was awake. So I guess I will wait for my "notice." Thanks for the info.

Update: Then again, reading what was listed: "vehicles with a manual driver" Mine has power seats. May make a difference.

Received my letter for this recall yesterday.

 

Well that sure took Ford long enough to decide to send them out.

 

The poster after you just received his notice, and has a King Ranch, which has power seats, so think again .

My truck was built prior to those dates, so my recall notice collection won't increase for the time being. Ha ha.

 

OK, good. Not a problem if I get the notice. I would rather have safe seats than not.

 

You can have the dealership pull up the "OASIS REPORT", and "IF" there is a notice on it that you have that recall, or others, they can do the recall at your convenience.

You do NOT need to have the paperwork. It costs them NOTHING, a n d they have to pull one EVERYTIME you take your vehicle in for even an oil change.
