This recall (from what I understand) only applies to vehicles with the high-back seats w/ built-in headrests. If you have adjustable headrests, don't sweat it.

I just found this out first hand two days ago was pulling into a parking lot when the seat back just dropped out from under me. This is on a 96 Explorer have to give Ford the word to expand the recall by a few more years. Ford is only going back to 98
