Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with third-row seating; and 2019-2023 f-super duty F-250, f-350, f-450, and f-550 supercab vehicles. The owner's manual does not include instructions for adjusting or removing certain head restraints. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, "head restraints."

Why it matters: Without instructions, the head restraints may be improperly adjusted, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The fix: Ford will mail the owner's manual addendums that describe how to adjust and remove the head restraints for the center seating positions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 21, 2023.
