SEATS

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The third row seat in your Freestar or Monterey has a mechanism that keeps it secure in place. Over time, this mechanism can corrode and weaken, making the seat position unstable.
Risk if Unfixed
If your third row seat isn't securely latched and the vehicle gets rear-ended, it could break loose and cause personal injury to you or a passenger.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the seat latch with a reinforced version, free of charge. Just wait for the recall notice and schedule the repair to get this important update done.

Original — What Happened
Ford is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles manufactured from March 24, 2003, through November 7, 2006, equipped with a third row seat and originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The third row stowable seat can experience corrosion and structural degradation at the seat anchor mechanism mounted to the rear wheel wells. As a result of the corrosion, the third row seat may not fully latch into its seating position.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
In the event that the vehicle is crashed into from the rear, an unlatched seat may increase the risk of personal injury.
Original — Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new third row seat latch striker mounting brackets, free of charge. The recall began on March 28, 2013. Owners may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
