Ford Motor Company just issued a safety recall for approximately 117,000 Ford F-150, E-Series, Escape and Lincoln MKC vehicles to replace improperly tempered seat, seatback, seatbelt and/or seatbelt buckle attaching bolts.
If a seat, seatback or seatbelt anchor attaching bolt fractures in one of the affected vehicles, the structural integrity of the seat or the seatbelt system’s performance may be compromised in a sudden stop or crash, thereby increasing the risk of injury.

Affected vehicles include the 2014 Ford F-150 built at Dearborn Assembly Plant, May 9, 2014 to June 15, 2014 and at Kansas City Assembly Plant, May 10, 2014 to June 10, 2014.
