- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 17V472000
- Manufacturer's number: 17S17

## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2014 Ford F\-150 and E\-350, 2014\-2015 Ford Escape, and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles.  Improperly manufactured bolts may have been used to install certain seats, seatbacks, seatbelt buckles, or seatbelt anchors on these vehicles.


## What can happen

The improperly manufactured bolts may fracture.  If a seat, seatback, or seatbelt anchor attaching bolt fractures, the affected component may not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected bolts, free of charge.  Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed September 8, 2017.  Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available in the fourth quarter of 2017.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 17S17.


## 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.
