New recall notice

NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V633000
Components: SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY, SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
Summary
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2020 F-150 and 2019-2020 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty pickup trucks, and 2018-2019 Ford Explorer and 2019-2020 Expedition vehicles equipped with driver and/or passenger's manual front seat back recliner mechanisms. Also included are certain 2020 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with rear outboard seats and manual seat back recliner mechanisms. The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat back. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 202, "Head Restraints" and 207, "Seating Systems."

I read an article that Ford isn't going to start sending letters until October and not all trucks that get a recall will even need a repair.

Thanks for the link. My truck isn't part of the recall. Mine was built right around the time the recall stops but I wasn't sure on the exact build day so I knew it could go either way.

Ford already has the fix, I'm sure they are just waiting until they have enough parts on hand to start sending them out before they issue the official recall. Nothing worse than getting a recall in the mail then finding out your came get it fixed for a couple months because the parts are on backorder.
