Ford Issues Recall on 387,000 Vehicles Over Unstable Second-Row Seats

Ford Motor Company has announced a recall affecting approximately 387,000 vehicles due to a potential safety issue with the second-row seats. According to the automaker, the seats may shift unexpectedly during travel, increasing the risk of injury to passengers. The recall covers several popular models, including certain Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and Ford Expedition vehicles from recent model years.
The problem stems from a manufacturing defect that can cause the seat-locking mechanism to fail, allowing the seat to move forward or backward without warning. Ford says it has received reports of minor injuries linked to the issue, though no accidents or fatalities have been confirmed.
Owners will be notified starting next month, and dealers will inspect and repair the seats free of charge, replacing the affected locking components as needed.
