Ford Motor Company issued a recall for select 2020 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. In affected vehicles, the attachment bracket for the second-row driver’s side headrest may not have been sufficiently welded to the seat frame.
An improperly welded headrest bracket may have reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
This action affects 2,620 vehicles in the United States, 159 in Canada and 19 in Mexico.
Affected vehicles were built at Kentucky Truck Plant as follows:
Ford Expedition vehicles from Feb. 26 to March 18, 2020
Lincoln Navigator vehicles from Feb. 27 to March 16, 2020
Dealers will inspect the seat structure and replace, if required. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20C12.
