SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS

What Happened

The seat pivot bolts in your Ranger or Bronco are the small metal pieces that hold the seat's height-adjustment mechanism in place. In some 2024-2026 models, these bolts can come loose or even fall out.

Risk if Unfixed

If the pivot bolt is loose or missing, your seat might not keep you securely in place during a crash. This could lead to serious injury.
