Ford Motor Company is recalling 33,000 vehicles due to a seat defect. The seats can collapse rearward and seriously injure a person if it would occur during an accident.
Ford states the defect lies with the "gear plate teeth" which is located on the manual recliner mechanism. The defective part was manufactured "out of dimensional specification." This defect should cause the vehicle to fail the federal safety standard for seat strength.
Recalled Vehicles:
2010 Explorer
2010 Explorer Sport Trac
2010 Mercury Mountaineer
2010 Ford Fusion
2010 Mercury Milan
