NEWS: Ford recalls 2011 Explorer over second-row seats
DETROIT NEWS -- February 7, 2011 ?nbsp; Ford Motor Co. is recalling its
brand new 2011 Ford Explorer vehicles over concerns they may have defective
second row seats.
In a notice posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
website, Ford said that a test of second row seats with manual recliner
mechanisms may have components that don't meet requirements.
The recall covers 1,658 vehicles built between July 15 and December 13 of
last year. Ford is also recalling 239 Explorers in Canada.
Dealers will replace the second row seats with a manual recliner mechanism.
Ford disclosed that the problem - discovered in mid-December - briefly
resulted in a stop-ship of new Explorers from its Chicago Assembly plant.
The redesigned 2011 Explorer - the newest version of its iconic SUV -- is a
crucial vehicle for Ford.
Ford told dealers to not sell any vehicles still at dealerships built during
that timeframe until they are repaired.
Ford said in mid-December, a new Explorer was identified with a noise in the
second row seat. When the seat was inspected "there was unexpected
observable movement of the center recliner seatback during manual forward
loading."
Ford said it isn't aware of any accidents or injuries connected to the
recall.
Ford will start mailing recall notices to owners starting Feb. 14. |
