What This Recall Means

Component

SEATS

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.

How to Get This Fixed

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.
