The Hazard!
The rear folding seatback latch spring may break causing the latch mechanism to malfunction, potentially preventing the rear seat back from locking into the upright position. A seat back which is not locked into position may increase the risk of injury to rear seat occupants in the event of a collision.
Ford are currently working with our supplier to expedite the development and delivery of the parts for this repair. Ford will write to owners advising them to get their vehicle repaired once parts are available.
What to do...
Until the seat back latch is replaced, the rear seatback should not be occupied by passengers unless you have first confirmed that the rear seatback is secure and fully engaged.
You can confirm this by gripping the top of the seatback at the centre and pulling firmly towards the front of the vehicle. If the seatback moves forward, it is not fully engaged and the seat should not be occupied.
