Ford Recalling Over 8,500 Vehicles In Three Campaigns

Ford issued three separate recalls Wednesday affecting over 8,500 vehicles, including 7,000 of its most important models.
The 2015 and 2016 Explorer and F-150 represent the bulk of the recalled vehicles. In an unusual instance, the affected models come from two different facilities and ride on two different platforms but suffer from the same issue — a bad weld on the driver’s rear seatback. According to Ford, the seats "may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury."
