Ford affected vehicles may be missing the two front inboard attachments for the second row seats.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the seats mid/rear assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may be missing the two front inboard attachments for the second row seats. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating systems", and (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."
Seats with missing inboard attachments may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to verify that they have the second row seat attachment studs, installing them if not, free of charge.
