A Heads Up
Hey Now,
Just wanted to pass a word of caution along to Explorer owners....
I own a 2000 Explorer with 67,000 miles on it...
This morning the Driver's seat-back broke....I do all of my own repairs, so I went to the Ford Dealer in Town to check out the parts to repair it....
They told me to check at the Service Dept. because there is a recall on seat-back bolts....They checked my VIN and mine was not included in the recall!!!!
I got the recall repair kit and fixed it myself this morning....
So beware, your Explorer seat-back bolts could break!!!!
I was giving a little warning....the recline on the seat-back was "acting Funny" for a Day or two....
I would suggest that you have the seat-back bolts replaced, I'd would have hate to see what would have happened if it gave way while on the Highway or when my Wife was Driving it!!!!
I emailed the NHTSA and Ford about this...will be interesting to see what if any response I get from them....

Ya, no big problem to fix...the hardest part was getting the seat-back cover up high enough to get to the bolt...
