Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2018-2020 F-150 and 2019-2020 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty pickup trucks, as well as certain 2018-2019 Ford Explorer, 2019-2020 Expedition, 2020 Escape, 2020 Ford Explorer, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles. These vehicles have seat back recliner mechanisms that may be missing a required third pawl component, causing the seat back to be loose and reducing its structural strength.
A loose seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism may not adequately restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the seat structure free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to arrange service. Ford's recall number is 19C07.
