Details

On certain Explorer, Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Trac vehicles, the upper bolt on the driver's high back seat that attaches the seat recliner mechanism to the seat back frame could fracture.

If this happens, the seat back may recline until it makes contact with an object behind the seat, such as the 2nd row seat cushion.

The occupant could potentially lose contact with the steering wheel or foot pedals during such an event.

Correction: Dealer will replace the driver's seat upper bolt.
