NHTSA campaign 25V311000 · reported May 9, 2025 · Ford Motor Company · 46 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Ranger and Bronco vehicles. The bolts that secure the driver's seat frame to the body may be loose or missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems."
- The risk
- A seat with loose or missing fasteners may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the seat fasteners and tighten or install new fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 23, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C16.
