Risk of seatback becoming loose in an accident in two Ford models

Ford is recalling 305 Capri and Explorer vehicles manufactured between 18 August 2024 and 19 September 2025 to authorized workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the front seat backrest may come loose, which can increase the risk of injury in the event of a collision.

At an authorized workshop, the front seat bolts will be checked and, if necessary, tightened to the correct torque.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15856R“. The internal manufacturer code is “25SA1“.
