## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2017 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured September 27, 2016, to September 28, 2016.  The left rear seat backs pivot pins may have been improperly welded.


## What can happen

During a crash, the improper welds may fail, allowing any stowed luggage to move into the passenger compartment, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left hand, second row seat back frame, free of charge.  The recall began January 10, 2017.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 16S43.
