## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2017 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles.  The affected vehicles may be missing the two front inboard attachments for the second row seats.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 207, "Seating systems", and \(FMVSS\) number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."


## What can happen

Seats with missing inboard attachments may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to verify that they have the second row seat attachment studs, installing them if not, free of charge. The recall began on August 14, 2017.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 17C10.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
